Have you been standing on the Word and believing God for certain things to come to pass; to happen for you? Perhaps you have been preparing for a specific dream or goal. Well, your time to receive the good that God meant for you is now. All it takes is your faith to believe it. While you wait to see the natural manifestation of what you believe, your patience and trust in God will be tested. The Bible talks about seedtime and harvest, which means there is a time to sow, a time to wait and a time to reap what you have sown. Don’t be discouraged, or allow frustration that accompanies impatience to deter your perseverance. Remember, for everything in life there is a due season. And due season always comes.
God loves you, and every season of your life is appointed by Him for a specific purpose that is ultimately for your good. Ecclesiastes 3:1 declares, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” There is no doubt that you will endure both the good and bad times; trials and triumphs; but be encouraged by the fact that no matter what you endure, everything you’ve been meditating on and believing for to come to pass in your life will happen if you don’t give up.
The typical response to having to wait is to grow anxious as you wonder, “When is my harvest coming?” or “When is my breakthrough going to show up?” But understand that all your wants and needs are provided for by your heavenly Father. Cast your cares on Him and continue to stand on, confess and believe God’s Word.
Sometimes, while you are waiting, impatience can usher in a flood of doubt and cause you to become weary. You’ve been sowing seed, believing and confessing the Word; your time of harvest is coming. You must establish in your heart and mind that every promise of God has a particular time to be made manifest. If you don’t stay focused on this truth, frustration and the temptation to quit will arise and you won’t see the end of your faith.
One thing you can be sure of, when dealing with God, is that there is never a question of whether something is going to happen that He said in His Word. Isaiah 55:11 says, “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” When you renew your mind to the fact that God’s Word always comes to pass, you position yourself to no longer walk in the doubt of whether or not it will show up. Get rid of the “if” mentality and get into the expectancy of “when” it’s going to happen.
When you develop expectancy, God is obligated to fulfill your expectation from His Word. When you do this, your confidence in the Word and its promises will soar. “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward” (Hebrews 10:35).
Don’t give up, don’t cave in, don’t quit because your “when” is right around the corner! Start preparing today for your time of harvest. Get excited and rejoice!
