Ephesians 3:20 "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us".
Does it seem impossible that all that you have been trusting in God for has not yet come to pass? God is greater than your problems. You may not be able to see what He is doing behind the scenes. He always works everything together for our God. Do not let what you face today derail your faith. God has commanded us to 'Ask' and has established in His word that He can do exceeding abundantly above 'all' and not some of all that you ask Him. Be strong in the Lord and be patient on Him. He is working on your heart and character.
The end will be better than the beginning because the Lord's name will be glorified. Do not fear for the Lord is your rock and salvation. Did God not bless Sarah with a son even in her old age? Did he not bless Elizabeth with a son even in her old age? The longer you wait on God for Him to carry out His work in you the more His glory will be seen in your life and His grace will give you the ability to stay on top where He will place you.
God has not asked us to ask in vain. He has not given us His promises to tease us. He loves us and wants the best for us. Rejoice in the ability of God to come through for you when the chips are down. Do not put your trust in man for they will fail you. Praise the Lord and give thanks. Trust in the Lord and He will turn all your ashes and flaws into beauty. He has said " I will not leave you nor forsake you. God is not a man that will lie. |
