RECEIVE THE PROMISE

Hebrews 10:35-36 (NKJV) 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

Many times, we can feel like hanging it all up.  You know, when we say things like: “Is this really ever going to happen?  Will this healing ever manifest?  I have been praying for a mate for so long, and it just seems like I am getting older and older.”

In this verse, it says, “DO NOT GIVE UP!”  It is not always easy, but I will tell you, it is rewarding.  Remember that God is always doing a work in us and around us.  He is bringing situations together, and when it involves others, He has to get everything all lined up, and He is the only One Who knows how that all works.

God is developing us into the image of His dear Son, so when it takes a little longer then we would like it to, hold on!  Let God, your loving Father, take the reins of your life, and you will see how it will all work out for the best.

The journey may seem bumpy, or even scary, at times, but know that God made the train, and He sure knows how to drive it.  The last part of this verse states that we need endurance.   We know that, but we do not want to wait for it.  Yet, if we will hold on, and be patient, and do His will, it says that we will receive the promise.

So today, get your eyes on Him.  Make Him the most important person in your life, and at the right time, things will happen and you will say, “Man, I am glad I waited!”

Confession: Today, I choose to do it God’s way, and not my way.  I choose to wait on God, and I know that He has my best interest in mind.  He will make it all work for His good, and for mine.
