One of the hardest
things in life is to keep doing the right thing when nothing seems to be
happening. There are times when situation may even seem to go against what we are
standing for. Yet, if we keep doing the right thing long enough, we can be
confident that our harvest will come.
Everything we do – our thoughts
and actions, is a seed. When we sow a seed a kindness, we WILL reap a harvest.
When we’re taking care of our bodies through exercise, healthy eating and sleep
habits, we will enjoy divine health. When we give our due diligence at work and
trust God with the result, He will give us the increase. When we honor our
heavenly Father with a God-pleasing lifestyle, He will promote us. Great achievers are those who keep pressing
on in spite of little or no visible results. What happens between what we are
expecting from God and the time of its manifestation is called the “trial of our faith.”
I have friends right now
who are standing in faith for a miraculous healing. Some of my friends are
waiting for their dream jobs. Others of you are waiting for a relationship to
blossom and the business to start making profit. You are praying for your
marriage to be healed and family members to be saved. It may have taken a while,
but know that a harvest is coming. God
has been working all along. Healing, promotion, increase, influence, peace,
prosperity, restoration, salvation and a sound mind is waiting in line for you.
God will never put you through a test
without first giving you the power to overcome and then to reward you for it.
Today, raise your expectation
in God. Abraham got his promised son. Moses delivered God’s people from the
bondage. David killed Goliath. Jesus endured the cross. What results they got! You too, will inherit your promise. God
is orchestrating things in your favor. Good breaks are on your way! Your labor
in the Lord is not in vain. Keep your hopes up. Keep trusting in God’s ability
to turn things around. Just like you go to work every day – fighting traffic, putting
up with a difficult boss, and myriads of other disadvantages in the hope of a
paycheck, the test of your faith will produce result. The question is not if it
will happen but when it WILL happen. Stay in faith. God will honor you and He
will reward you. Your payday is coming!
“Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal
that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to
you. But rejoice
inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be
overjoyed when his glory is revealed” (I Peter 4:12-13 NIV).
