The Bible says without faith it is impossible to please the Lord (Hebrews 11:6)). As Christians shouldn’t we want to please the Lord? When we make it a practice to obey God it becomes more natural to embrace what He tells us. We do not understand it fully at the time, but by faith we step out on His word.
Oftentimes, we give up on God too soon. We hear something in our Spirit. If it does not manifest when we expect, we lose faith. We give up on what God has told us. Imagine if Noah had given up on building the ark. Some say it took Noah 120 years to build it! Abraham and Sarah were way past child-bearing years when God told them they would have a child. That situation got a little messy. They decided they would help God out. Impatiently, they determined to do things their way. It was because it did not happen when they expected. Nevertheless, God still blessed them with Isaac.
When we know the spirit and voice of God, we trust him. It may not always look exactly how we think it is going to look. Many times it does not happen in the time frame we expect it to happen. Unequivocally, suddenly or gradually, it comes to past!
I believe it saddens God when His children do not trust and believe in Him. We want the abundant, victorious life He has promised us, only to settle and compromise for what we can get. Notice I said, what we can get. We do it our way, in our own strength. Disobediently not relying on God to do it for us or show us how to do it.
God sees our heart. The Bible says He is a rewarder to them who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) Do not give up on God. Wait on Him (Isaiah 40:31). Trust that He has the BEST plan for you and your life. When God speaks to your spirit, know He is observing your heart. If you are diligently seeking Him, He will BLESS you beyond your expectations! (Ephesians 3:20) Love & Blessings!
