God, You Said It!

Last night I took a moment to write to God. I've found that putting down my thoughts in a kind of letter to Him helps me sort out my feelings and find some clarity. And I always take a moment to listen for His response to what I've written down.

Yesterday, before I was even done with my portion, God pointed out that I already knew the answer to my own question. It was right there: "God, You said..." I was using that phrase almost as a complaint. God, You said this was going to happen, but I don't see it! Lord, You told me that this was what I could expect, but it's not here!

I had taken my eyes off God and was looking around me for the results. If I had stayed focused on Him, I wouldn't be concerned about how long things were taking or what hadn't shown up yet. It wouldn't matter because my eyesight would be filled with the majesty of God's power and greatness.

Abraham made the same mistake when he listened to his wife Sarah who was singing the same tune I was. He took his eyes off God and looked around and saw that his blessing had not come. So he tried to make it happen. As a result, he brought a whole bunch of mess into his home.

Simple trust in God is what our Heavenly Father wants from us. He wants us to rest assured that whatever He has spoken, He will do it. When we can fully rely on God, He is free to do things His way and in His timing bringing about the best possible results for our lives.

So, if God has said anything to you and you're still waiting on results, don't take your eyes off of Him! Keep your trust in His word. He is not a man that He should lie, He will never leave the righteous forsaken, and He is a God that never fails.

Believe on His Word. Rest in His love. His word will definitely come to pass.

Verse of the Day: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11
