Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a heart fulfilled is a tree of life. ~ Proverbs 13:12 NRSV
Word of the Lord
Hold on to Me during the wait; spend time with Me during the wait. Run to Me My child even when things seem questionable and you are silently wondering if what you are hoping for will ever come to pass.
It is imperative that you remember that I am God and I know exactly when and how to bring the perfect answer concerning you. When that day comes it will be hard for you to recall those despairing days because My joy will flood your soul and cause you to know My sovereign grace and faithfulness. You will know the voice of gladness. I say, you will know the voice of gladness. For I will turn your sadness into great joy.
So run to me My child, I have many things for you to celebrate. Even when it may seem debatable, Trust Me. I give magnificent gifts to My children. I am your Heavenly Father. I am your deliverer. I am your true source of hope, and I am emphatically the Miracle Worker who turns deferred dreams into trees of life.
Reflections
- Will you make a commitment to stand firm and trust God even in the dark places?
- Will you remember that He is light, and that there is no place so dark in which He cannot clearly see? Nothing can dim His vision. He will rescue you.
- It is ok to ask God to baptize you in His love, and to infuse you with His hope, and faith. He wants you to be totally transparent with him. Tell Him all of your feelings and thoughts.
- Remind yourself often that there is a day of celebration coming in which God will bring great fulfillment. In fact, you are on that journey right now. Just keep walking with Him and thanking Him for His divine intervention, deliverance, and joy.
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ~ Isa 30:21 NIV
This is a simple reminder of what I originally called you to do. Go forth, be
strong, and diligently seek Me for I will be your personal rock that will never
break. I promise that I will hold your hand and have your back all at the same
time. I will never send you anywhere without My Spirit going with you. I
reiterate, I will never send you anywhere without My Spirit going with you.
Please receive that deep within your spirit and let it consume your thoughts.
You’re on My team and I know that You can succeed because I called you before
the foundations of the world to be one of my awesome leaders in the earth. So
you see, you can fulfill this challenging call because you were built for this. I
know, I am the Master Creator and I created you.
Yes My dear child, I know that things get heavy at times but, may I remind you
that you can always come to Me at the initial onset of a problem. Don’t try to fix
it on your own. You need My counsel and direction. Do this and You will see that
I am your burden bearer and that I am very capable of making crooked places
straight and turning desert places into an oasis. So walk with full assurance
knowing that I am the One who called you, and that I have chosen vessels that
eagerly await My words of life flowing from you.
When you hear that still small voice, and feel that gentle nudge to continue on in
Your calling, know that it is My Spirit encouraging you to press in and follow Me.
“This is the way; walk ye in it.”
