| Growing in the Waiting |

| THE SCRIPTURE: |
| “We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.” |
| (Hebrews 6:12 NIV) |
|

| THE WORD : |
|
If God made everything happen right away, or whenever
we wanted it to happen, it wouldn’t require anything of us. We would
miss the opportunity to grow because we grow in the difficult times. We
grow when our faith is being stretched, when we have to believe when we
don’t see any reason to believe, when we stay in faith when our mind is
telling us we’re wasting our time, when we give God praise but we really
feel like complaining. That’s passing the test. When you do that every
day, your faith is not only increasing, your character is not only being
developed, but you are one day closer to seeing the promise come to
pass.
Today, don’t give up on a promise just because you’ve
been waiting a long time. Dig your heels in. Put on a new attitude. God
is saying, “Every promise I’ve spoken over you, every dream I’ve placed
in your spirit, even the secret petitions of your heart, the dreams you
haven’t told anyone about, I still have every intention of bringing them
to pass.” Stay close to Him. Obey His Word and move forward in the
blessing and victory He has prepared for you!
