Hold on!

For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come
and will not delay.~Habakkuk 2:3

I know first hand how hard it can be to wait and to struggle with wanting to be faithful when it looks like everything is falling apart. I say looks like because the enemy likes to distort our problems. Like funny mirrors in an amusement park, the devil wants to magnify them to make you think that they are bigger than God. He wants us to doubt and waiver in our faith in the Creator and Lord of all things. The enemy even wants us to condemn ourselves and give up because we dare to be honest with God about what we are going through. But I have found that it is when I look in the true mirror of His grace and mercy that my hope is renewed and my peace restored. My eyesight is clearer as I look at my problems through His eyes. Yes, the pains and weariness is real but so is my God. My big problem, the sufferings of my friends and brothers and sisters around this world are merely a speck to my Father. My God can speak line to any and every situation. He is the God of the mountain and the valley. He is the Great Shepherd. He is the Great I am. He knows our beginning and our end. His word says that He wants to prosper us and not harm us - Jeremiah 29:11. His promises are true and He is faithful to keep them. His promises are not based on my limited understanding or my circumstances, but on Jesus Christ.  

Father may we stand firm and wait on You Lord. You said You will fight our battles, we only need to be still. You said that those that wait on You are blessed. Lord, so give us strength to wait and praise You in advance. Praise You for your faithfulness and mercy. Praise You for just being God. May we be encouraged Lord. In Jesus name. Amen

I am a living testimony to what God can do. Don’t give up. Hold on!
