"...Imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised"
Hebrews 6:12
TODAY'S WORD:
Recently watching one of my favorite cartoons Peanut's A Charlie Brown Christmas. It made me look at all my own failures in my life and the things I just have not done as I would like. When you start focusing on your failures or situations you find yourself in you can become discouraged thinking you will never get out this rut.
Sometimes, it's easy to look at your circumstances in the natural and think, "I've missed my opportunity. I'm too old. I'm too dumb, I'm out of shape, I've made too many mistakes or committed too many or too great of sins in my past or present, It's just too late, stick a fork in me and turn me over cause' I'm done. Seriously, I've messed up too much." But you see with God, there's always another opportunity. He created you on purpose and for a purpose. He's the one who placed those dreams and desires on the inside of you. He hasn't given up on those dreams, and you shouldn't either! It's never too late for God, which means it's never too late for you!
I don't know about you, but I have never heard of a single story, not in the Bible nor in our time, where God gave someone a dream and fulfilled it on the same day. No my friend, our lives are designed with seasons and processes to build our faith and prepare us for the next step. It takes faith, it takes obedience, and it takes patience to see God's promises come to pass.
Selah people and friends today, no matter where you are in your journey of faith, just focus on moving forward. God hasn't given up on you! Trust that He has you in the right place at the right time. Trust that He is working all things together for your good. Trust that new doors are opening. Choose faith and patience, and you will inherit His promises because it's never too late for you to embrace the good things God has in store for you!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father God, thank You for loving me. Thank You for renewing the fire in me. I trust that You are ordering my steps and making a way where there seems to be no way. Keep me close to You always and reveal the good plan You have for me in Jesus' name. Amen."
In Christ service,
Patrick
