God's Promise

"Daily dwell on God's promise to you. Hide them in your heart and always remember, 'Not one word has failed of all His good promise.' " 1 Kings 8:56

Today's scripture outline important instructions for the believer. We are asked to:

1. Daily Dwell

2. Hide the word

3. Remember God's Promise

When we daily dwell on God's promise to us we choose to meditate solely on his words. We are refuting our own negative thoughts for God's promises. As our thoughts begin to align with his word, we are no longer considering any other option besides what God has promised. We become "locked in" on his words and laser focus on what lies ahead.

However, the scripture tells us to do something very important. We must Hide the word in our heart. Why? If we don't secure the word of God, there are so many things that occur in our life to up root what was planted. Faith shifting circumstances often invade and bombard our lives to the point of no return if you are not fully anchored. It's only the word of God that can keep our faith intact. We have to ensure that the word is deeply rooted in our hearts so that we may not stray away or forfeit our promise.

Lastly, we are told to remember the promise. When you consider the Faithfulness of God over the course of your life, you can always pinpoint moments when he came through and fulfill your prayer or his promise. He is not in the business falling short or not fulfilling his word. The Bible tells us that he honors his word above his name. God's word to you means everything to HIM. That is powerful and encouraging! Whatever he promised, don't let it go. Continue to nurture it in your heart and wait for it to come to pass.

Do I really have to Wait?

“Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; Wait for the LORD!”

Psalm 27:14

Wait on the Lord, no matter how tempting it may be to step out and test your plan B. We all have back up plans "just in case" we believe that God is taking a bit longer than we like. It's no secret that we have grown to be impatient over the years. With everything else at our finger tips, its difficult to wait for something that you want "yesterday".

If God wants you to wait then it's in your best interest. He sees far down the line and he knows exactly what you need when you need it. Stepping out on what you desire will only delay what he has already prepared for you to recieve.

Many people often believe that their time is "running out" and they want to be able to experience the joy of what they have been earnestly praying for. Waiting is not easy and when you wait for a prolonged period of time it causes you to grow weary. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months and months into years. The waiting becomes unbearable and our heart becomes faint.

However, in your waiting season God is doing something amazing. He is working in you and preparing you to receive what he promised. He is preparing you to blossom into what you need to be to receive what you prayed for. You may be waiting on a spouse; hoping to become a parent; ready to be an entrepreneur or step out into ministry. No matter what it is, God knows when is the right time and will restore unto you the years that you patiently waited. He is the giver of time, if he kept you by his grace this long, surely he will continue to uphold you until the appointed time and beyond!

When you are feeling weak, tell him! He will step in and give you the grace and strength to remain. Stay faithful and he will bless you beyond what you could ever imagine for yourself.

Endurance

“Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise”

Hebrews 10:35-36

Endurance is the ability to withstand hardship or adversity; especially the ability to sustain a prolonged stressful effort or activity. We can honestly say that recent events are definitely testing our endurance on all levels and in every area of our lives. Yet, in everything that we have faced we are still able to endure because our confidence was not misplaced.

God has given you his Holy Spirit to comfort you as you stand in the truth of his word. He will never leave you nor forsake you. It is because of his strength we are able to face and get through our challenging moments. Our confidence in God builds endurance, and our endurance builds resilience. We find ourselves growing stronger when we are able to trust God.

When we trust God beyond our knowledge, we are able to tap into a strength and grace that only he can give. It’s time to rest like Jesus did on a boat in the midst of the storm. Why? Because he is with us. We have to embrace and accept that powerful truth. When you believe and have confidence in God’s word, you are building endurance.

When you have the privilege to prove God and his word, you become confident with every victory and patient through every battle. Endurance is key when you are believing God to come through for you as you fight the good fight of faith.

Today, I pray that God gives you the spirit of endurance to withstand every hardship you are facing right now. May you receive new found strength and a bounce back resilience to whatever is seeking to knock you down. As you continue to stand in God’s word, may it be your shield, provision and compass. May you pursue God’s will and wholeheartedly that you may attain what he has promised to you. Amen
