What are you waiting on? Don't Give up on God.Today's Scripture:
Is anything too hard for the Lord? No! I will return to you at the right time a year from now, and Sarah will have a son.
Genesis 18:14
The average woman would be alarmed if angels showed up at her door and told her that even though she's long past childbearing years, she is going to have a baby. Sarah laughed. It wasn't that she didn't want to have a child. For most of her ninety or so years she'd tried to get pregnant. And this wasn't the first time God had sent the message that she was to become a mother. He'd said that before and nothing happened. So Sarah had tried to "help" God out by encouraging her servant girl to have a child with her husband, Abraham- a child she planned to raise. But Sarah's schemes to help fulfill God's promise ended up in a mess.
After years had passed, God reminded Sarah and Abraham of his promise. Sarah's laughter indicated that she had given up on ever holding that baby. But the angels reminded her, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?"
Perhaps you believe that God promised you something, but you haven't seen the promise fulfilled. When that happens, it's tempting to try to finagle, yes finagle people and situations to make the desired results happen. And after disappointment, it's tempting to give up on God. I want to take this opportunity to tell one important thing.
Don't give up on God! Keep your hope in Him. His timing is not the same as yours and mine.
Selah people' and friends what God promises, he will do. Put your faith into high gear and wait for Him to act when everything is just right. Remember, nothing is impossible for God.
"May we each be reminded that nothing is too big nor too hard for our God."
