Thought For Today - 4/20/10
You have prayed the prayer of faith. You believe you have received the answer. You are confessing the Word. You are standing on God’s promise. You are expecting a miracle.
Things didn't get better - but worse.
Now all you can think about is how tired you are, how fed up you are with waiting for your answer to come, etc. You’ve had it with this situation and want to quit!
Well, you are not alone. Everyone who has ever walked by faith has gone through some similar things - tough times. Maybe those times have tripped you up in the past. Darkness is trying to put pressure on you into letting go of your faith.
There is a force so powerful, it can carry you through those hard times in triumph. It is a force so dynamic, darkness cannot stop it. It is a force that comes from the heart and character of God Himself, and it will take you from here to victory...every time. It’s the force of patience.
Patience is the force that keeps you from fainting under pressure. It is the quality that does not surrender to circumstances or succumb under trial.
God didn’t give you just any old type of patience, either. He imparted to you His very own patience. God has what it takes to get through hard times. He has the power to persevere until circumstances line up with His Word. Because you are born of His Spirit, you have that power too!
I know that the pressure is on, and it can be intense. Let patience see you through it all!
Much love,
Joseph
