Sometimes it’s hard to believe that things will get better when all you see around you is chaos. We all will face trials and tribulations in our lives, but in those times we have to look at God and not our circumstances. If we keep a positive attitude and trust in God, he will come to us and show us the future he has planned. I had that very thing happen to me when I went through one of the most difficult times in my life. I lost the ability to walk and during that time God showed me what he had in store for me. I couldn’t believe it because all I saw around me was this frail, sickly woman. I kept wondering if what God had shown me was really for me. Then I realized something. God cannot go back on his promises. If he gives you a vision, it will surely come to pass. It was up to me to believe.
Maybe you’ve been holding on to a vision that God gave you years ago. You may feel like it will never come to pass. Today is the day to believe! God gave you those visions so you would have something to hold on to when the storms in life begin to rage. He wants you to keep the faith and let him do the work. God has a purpose and a plan for all of our lives, but we have to continue to let God mold us and shape us so that we will be ready for all he has in store. The longer you go through, the stronger you will be on the other side. God wants to make sure that when he is finished with you, everyone will be able to see that God has done a new thing in you. Don’t get discouraged, just believe.
Some months ago I was reflecting back on some of the things that God has promised me. Some of those promises were beyond my wildest dreams. I started to wonder how all of that could happen to little ole me. I could see clearly what God had in store for me, but the natural side of me started to ask God if all of these blessings were really for me. I went on about my day and later that afternoon there was a knock at my door. I was wondering who it could be.
When I opened the door, it was a familiar face. My cousin had two bags in her hand and a letter. She gave them to me and told me it was a special delivery. I kept wondering what this could be about. She told me that she couldn’t stay, but I needed to read the letter and I would understand.
I opened the letter and I began to read. As I starting reading, I was so amazed at the contents of that letter. By the time I finished the letter I was in complete awe. My cousin had given me several items that said, “BELIEVE.” I just began to thank God. He wanted me to just trust in him because what he promised me was going to come to pass.
The great thing about God is that he will meet us right where we are. If we are struggling with something and we give it over to God, he will give us the strength we need to make it through. God needed to remind me that my attitude would determine when the manifestation of his promises would come. If I started to worry and doubt, God would not be able to operate in my life. If I chose to believe, God would give me everything he promised.
No matter how long you’ve been waiting, no matter how extraordinary the vision, if God gave it to you, it will happen. Don’t focus on what your surroundings look like. Don’t pay attention to those doubters who say that it will never happen for you. Look to God and I promise you, it’s going to come. Your blessing is on the way. Just BELIEVE!
