Tick Tock!

Whether we’d like to admit it or not, we all have fallen culprit to The Clock. You know, that little counter in your head that ticks off the months, weeks days, and hours that it’s taking for God to answer your prayers. Most of us also added the accessory of The Deadline to give ourselves parameters for when God has to come through for us.

We go about our lives continuing to pray, and claim that we are trusting God to come through for us. The reality is we only can trust God for so long. We keep meticulous maintenance of how much time is left on The Clock and how much closer we’re getting to The Deadline.

Tick-tock…We’ve been praying for that mate for so many years… If they don't show up by our deadline, we’re going to go ahead and take matters into our own hands. Tick-tock… We’ve been believing God for a financial breakthrough… If we don’t get that increase, next month we are just going to have to cut back on our tithes and offerings. Tick-tock… Feel free to insert your own Deadline here. Tick-Tock!

We all need to take out our mental mallets and Kill The Clock! Pull out your mental erasers and eradicate The Deadline! We claim to trust in Almighty God. How can He be mighty when we’ve installed a backup agenda?

Imagine what might have happened if the Hebrew boys had kept up with The Clock. 'Oh, we’ll trust God as far as the doors of the furnace, but if He doesn’t come through, we’ll just have to bow down.' If the boys had tried to save their three lives, the Lord would not have been able to show out and save a nation!

So no matter what you are facing or how long you’ve been facing it, continue to stand firm in the power and wisdom of God. Trust Him to lead and guide you according to His will and with His timing.

If you can’t really bring yourself to let go of your own agenda, you need to reevaluate why you’re a Christian at all.

Verse of the Day: Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him… Job 13:15
