Dear Family, Be encouraged in this season for blessings are
springing forth! The Lord is not slack concerning His Promises. He is faithful
to perform whatever He said. In fact, He watches over His Word to perform it.
Though the vision tarries, wait for it... wait for it... wait for it! Rest in
the LORD and wait patiently for Him. Fret not thyself. The Lord is thy strength
and thy shield. Let your heart trust in Him. And allow the help that comes from
His presence and the people He sends to be of comfort to you in your
affliction. God is faithful. He will perform all His counsel. For that which He
declared concerning you will come to pass.
My heart prays today for the weariness that is manifest
among the saints. I see their tiredness. I know their pain. I know their
astonishment. For even the kingdom of heaven is like a man going into a far
country to return again at an appointed hour. Luke 12 warns us to stay in the
place of preparation...don't say in your hearts that the master delays His
coming and then go and begin to beat on the servants the Lord entrusted you
with. But be in faith. Be in faith! Be in readiness. Be in position.
Cast not away your confidence for it hath great recompense
of reward. What does this mean? It means to hold on to the promises you began
to hope in. It means stand when all looks hopeless and helpless. It means,
trust God when you can’t trace Him. It means to lean not to your own
understanding. Don’t be wise in your conceits. Don’t view God and consider Him
as man. God is not a man that He should lie; Neither the son of man that He
should repent. It means to pray without ceasing and let your heart always be
trusting Him.
One of the things God always counseled the children of
Israel, was to remember and not forget. Remember and not forget. If you remember the account, they would get in a pickle, cry out to
God, get delivered in a miraculous way that blew everybody's mind, and rejoice. However, the next time
they got in a pickle, they would murmur and complain. They would forget what He
did for them only the time before. This would displease the Lord because when
God sets His love on you, to deliver you and keep you alive in famine, He is
going to do this for you EVERY TIME. No matter how long it takes. However, He
looks to build up confidence in you. He looks to build up hope, faith, and trust
in you. That you would always think the truth concerning Him. And that you
would speak these things concerning Him. So never forget what He has done or is
doing. Because, the fact is…He’ll do it again.
God wants to get glory and honor. He is worthy of the glory
and honor. And when He gets the glory and honor in your situation, it draws
others to Him. God is looking to draw His creation to Him as sons and
daughters, that they would receive the inheritance He’s promised from the
foundation of the world. So this brings me back to how I started…
God has not forgotten the promise He made because they are
promises He will keep! Be encouraged! God’s credit record is EXCELLENT! Never
missed a payment! Therefore we are assured and rest in what’s He’s promised to
us. Be encouraged!
