Devotional
At one time or the other in life, we all have things that we’re trusting God for. It could be a great career, financial/business breakthrough, the right partner, the fruit of the womb, or sickness to turn around. We have the promise that one day everything in going to be fine, but nothing is happening. We pray and fast, we trust, but we don’t see any signs of things improving. It’s easy to get disheartened and think it’s never going to work out. But most of the time God doesn’t do things immediately, nonetheless it doesn’t mean God isn’t working.
Key Scripture
For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.Habakkuk 2:3 ESV
Refreshing for the Day
Many times, our miracle is in the process, it happens when we keep being obedient. In Luke 17, as Jesus and His disciples were headed toward Jerusalem, as He entered a village there, ten lepers stood at a distance, crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” He looked at them and said, “Go show yourself to the priests.” The Scripture says in verse 14, “And they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.”
Recall that, they were asking the Master to heal them of their diseases. But instead, Jesus asked them to go and show themselves to the priests. In the real sense, that wasn’t their plea; and what has going to the priests got to do with their healing? But in obedience to the Master, they went and they were cleansed. Though the Scripture didn’t say at what point they got their healing, but they kept on going, until they were cleansed. So Beloved, I don’t know what you’re trusting God for; it may have delayed, you could get discouraged, but I counsel you, keep on going, keep on believing. Just like these lepers, you will get your results on the way. Stay Lifted!
