Are you up for the challenge?

Okay…. so God had put a promise in you and it’s an amazing promise that will lead you to your destiny. Here’s the thing. You’ve prayed about it and God answered, He said its coming and you need to wait. So, you wait, and wait, and wait some more and nothing happens. So you start to doubt the promise. You doubt if you really heard from God. You doubt if He actually put that in you. You question everything. You want to give up because you’re tired, you’re weary and you don’t want to wait anymore. Your patience is at its end. Your faith is being challenged. What do you do? Do you give up or keep fighting? It will depend on who you allow access to your heart and mind. If you allow Satan in and allow your flesh to keep that doubt and expand to where you have a difficult time trusting God and his promises- You Lose.
Here’s the great news. If you allow God complete access and let Him be in control. Guess what? You WIN!! Jeremiah 29:11 says “ For I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV) It takes a lot of focus to be patient and wait on God. For me, it takes a lot of prayer, worship and reflection. When I look back over my life and there have been times when I didn’t think I’d make it. God showed up and He was there.  I trust God.  I believe He knows what’s best for me and He wants to bring me to my destiny. So, even though I’ve wanted to quit a hundred times, I’m not quitting – EVER!!! Because trust me, my destiny is worth waiting for. Is yours?
