In September I wrote about a hopefulness God had given to me, Him speaking and saying ''Trust me, pray, believe I am going to do amazing things in the coming months"
I had no idea in what areas of my life, or what He was going to do, only Him asking that I PRAY and trust.
Well... God has done some miracles in several areas of my life and with things that I had been praying about all Autumn!
The thing is with each issue I had worries (was God really going to do something amazing?) and there were times that the circumstances were getting worse and not better..like there would be no resolution for them. A lot of times I felt like I was sitting and doing nothing... like the cord had been cut on the prayer line to God (or to be more modern; like there was no service!)
But still I had a deep rooted hope that told me 'But God said He was going to do something'
And then He did...
Actually He did "Immeasurably more than all I asked or imagined!" [Ephesians 3:20]
The best part is I can't take any credit for any of the things He has done because I never even thought to ask or imagined that He would pour out so many big blessings and miracles over the course of a few weeks and the only thing I can say is that 'God did that' and all the glory goes to Him!
So if there are things you have been praying over, things that have happened, things that you are waiting on to happen, that hurt you, that didn't work out...I encourage you to Pray, Trust, Believe and think on these verses -for they were written in a time of waiting, wondering, questions, and lamenting too.
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD
[Lamentations 3: 21-26]
