Patience: Waiting Well With God

by Lauren Koch May 17, 2022

Life with God requires trust built through patience. Even in your waiting, there is space for you to thrive exactly as you are now.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6)

Patience is the Outflow of Our Trust in the Father

It is crucial to have trust in God to build patience in your waiting season. As we wait on the Lord, we either choose a heart of gratefulness or one of complaint. In gratitude, we build ourselves in hope, joy, and faith. In complaint, we shrink ourselves in unworthiness, impatience, and victim mentalities. Put to mind the breakthrough, relationship, joy or promise you are waiting on the Lord for. As you consider it, ask yourself: “Does this bring bitterness into my heart or hope?” If it feels hopeless, begin to invite the Holy Spirit into any lie you may be believing around this promise, allowing His gentle correction.

God Hears You

God is faithful to finish what He starts in you. Waiting teaches us patience, but also gives the opportunity to know and trust God deeper. Your waiting season may feel like it will never end, but God is always moving on your behalf. Trust that His timing in your life prospers, not harms, you. Take captive thoughts that you are forgotten, unimportant, or too far gone for God to bring to pass His promises. Bring all your worries to God, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7) and be amazed at the richness of your relationship with Holy Spirit in this time.

Beloved, if you are contending with God in this season, I pray that you grow in the depth of His knowledge and love for you.

Life Is A Journey

by GOD TV March 26, 2022

written by GOD TV

Hi, I would like to encourage you with my favorite scripture of all time. This was actually given to me by my grandmother who gave me my first Bible; Proverbs 4:18. I want to read it to you, so there is no paraphrasing here. “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” You know, the thing about this verse, is life is not a given, clear picture, all at once situation. We all have a process to live. We all have a journey to take, and I am the type of person who is quite impatient. You know, confessing here to you, I just really don’t like waiting. And when I know that I need patience and I say, “God, I need patience right now,” but God doesn’t give it to me. He gives me a process instead, because the Word says my path as a righteous person is a journey, like the shining sun that comes layer by layer, minute after minute; it becomes ever so brighter.

The thing about light that makes me very introspective, regarding life, is the fact that it reveals pieces that you didn’t know. And then after you know that part, another body of knowledge comes about, and another one comes about, and we just have to live it as a process. There is no microwave. There is no instant fixing. And I encourage you today to just lean on the Lord and embrace the process.

Final thought about this is, Jesus Himself said, “Do not worry about tomorrow, because sufficient is today’s own evil.” And that connects to this scripture because you know, it’s a process. When we get to that point and we have a challenge, we will then deal with that, and then we’ll deal with that, and then we’ll deal with that. Like me, I wanted to just get it all figured out, all troubles and problems, give it all to me at once. But no, it’s a process. I encourage you today to embrace life like that. Blessings over you may the Lord bless you and keep you.

In This New Month – Let The Weak Say I am Strong

by Seun Odumbo April 1, 2021

written by Seun Odumbo

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” (Ephesians 6:10) No matter what is going on around and within you, you are strong. For greater is He that is in you (believers), than he that is in the world (see 1 John 4:4). We are reborn in Christ as victors and not as victims, and as such, we are born to conquer, and not just to survive but to triumph on every side because we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus, we are strong, and nothing can separate us from the love of God (see Romans 8:35-39)

We are called to walk and live by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7, Hebrews 10:38, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11). What makes God reject and replace Saul was the fact that Saul decided against the Lord’s instruction. He did this based on what he could see and not by faith in God. The fear of what Saul could see (1 Samuel 13:11-14) made him disobey God. The God that made him a king over His people. Indeed, the fear of man brings a snare, but whosoever put his trust in the Lord shall be saved, see Proverbs 29:25.

Strong: Be Patient And Wait A Little Longer

Samuel had earlier told Saul to wait seven days for him at Gilgal. That he was coming to offer the burnt offerings and a peace offering to the Lord (see 1 Samuel 10:8). Note, Samuel did not tell Saul to carry out the Lord’s offerings because it is not his job. He is not called to be Priest. If only Saul could wait for just a little more, he would not have committed the error against the Lord. It cost him not just the kingdom, but his relationship with the Lord, see 1 Samuel 13:8-10.

The fact that the Philistines gathered against Israel and the people left Saul filled him with fear. That fear prompted Saul to make a wrong decision. Unfortunately, it cost him his life. Therefore, Fear is a reaction, and faith is a decision. What is your choice?

The Lord is saying to you right now to be a little more patient. Especially in areas where you encounter challenges. Additionally, in areas, you have been denied. Therefore, you do not disobey God. Nor miss out on God’s promises. (see Hebrews 10:35-36). Lamentations 3:25-26 says, “The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.”

God, Himself is patient with us (see 2 Peter 3:9). And He created us in His image and after His likeness. So, we can have His nature (see Genesis 1:26). Patience is part of the fruit of the Spirit of God (see Galatians 5:22-23) that lives inside of us, the believers.

The Grace Of God Is Sufficient

We are to focus on the unseen things. Which are eternal and not what we can see. Which are temporal (see 2 Corinthians 4:18). When you focus on the seen things, it will first bring you torment. And deny you of your patience. Finally, it prompts you to make a decision contrary to the will of God. Then what you fear might come upon you (see Job 3:25)

No matter what you are confronted with at the moment, they are all temporary. Remember, the grace of the Lord is sufficient for us. And His strength is made perfect in weakness (see 2 Corinthians 12:9).

“Therefore and finally, my brothers and sisters, be strong in the Lord. And in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10)

I pray the below video will bless you in the name of Jesus.

Light Up Your Hope Even In Tribulation With The Word Of God

by Seun Odumbo March 8, 2021

written by Seun Odumbo

“Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.” (Romans 12:12) Hope is an optimistic state of mind and the confidence by the knowledge and understanding that raise expectations of what God has promised with total trust in God’s faithfulness. A life without hope is like a sheep without a shepherd and direction, we learn this from the Word of God. Romans 15:4 says, “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”

The Word of God is the only source and the light of our hope, even in the darkest moment. There is nothing anyone can go through that the Word of God does not have the solution. Proverbs 23:18 says, “For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.”

Our expectation is and should be a light to our hope when we have the knowledge, understanding, and faith in what is promised (see Hosea 4:6, Proverbs 11:9). Verse 14 of Hosea chapter 4 also says, “therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.”

The Word Of God: God’s Faithfulness

God said, and He is still saying to us in Isaiah 45:19, “I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.” Also, see Jeremiah 29:11. The strength of our hope is the faithfulness of God, and remember, 1 Thessalonians says, “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” Also, see Hebrews 11:6.

Challenging moments require us to rejoice in Christ (see 1 Thessalonians 5:16, Isaiah 61:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:18) and in what has been promised, to be patient (see Hebrews 10:35-36, Lamentations 3:24-26, Job 13:15) and to always pray (see Luke 18:1, Colossians 4:2, Philippians 4:6-7, 1 Thessalonians 5:17).

The Word Of God: The Young Man

In the story of a young man, the father will always chastise him when he misbehaves, so the young man thought the father doesn’t love him and he hates his father. Unbeknownst to this young man, the father has willed all his property, including liquid assets, to the young man, and the will was with the lawyer.

The young man hates his father, and out of frustration, the young man moved out of his father’s house. He abandoned his studies at college, began to live a frustrated life, and end up on the street and homeless. The father heard about it and was so sad. The father went to look for him several times, but the young man will always hide from his father. The father also sent people to him to come back home, but he will not listen.

The father was old, and he became sick, and he wrote a letter. In the letter, he expresses his love for his son and all his plan for him. The father mentioned all plans for his son to take over his company worth billions of dollars, but the son does not know about the company.

The father also mentioned he had willed all his money and properties to his son. The only thing the son needs to do is take this letter to the father’s lawyer. The lawyer will then hand over the will with all details to his son. The father had instructed his lawyer to hand over to his son’s will only when he presented this letter. The father died, but before his death, he sent the letter to his son.

He Refused The Letter

The message got to his son, but he refused to open the letter because he thought his father hated him, so he did not believe his father had something for him. After five years, the son became sick due to low living on the street and was rushed to the hospital. His father’s lawyer visited him at the hospital and asked him, why haven’t you come to me for your inheritance? The boy replied, what inheritance? The lawyer said, didn’t you receive the letter from your dad? He said, I did but never opened it. The lawyer said, for five years, I see that is why you have not come to me for what is yours.

The lawyer persuaded him to open the letter and read it, he did, and he finished reading. His doctor told him he has a liver problem and had just three weeks to live. The boy bit his finger and wept all through the night. The lawyer, his doctor, and the nurses also wept for him, but it was too late. The boy died two weeks after.

When we open the letter (Bible) God left with us and continuously read it, our hope will be light up and continuously refresh our strength in Him. The Word of God is efficacious and able to build you up and give you your expectations and your inheritance; see Acts 20:32. Make the Word of God your companion and light up your hope! God bless you all.

God’s Love Is Without Conditions

by Alexxa Lowery January 12, 2021

written by Alexxa Lowery

The concept of Love is something not a lot of people can understand. But, did you know that God is Love? The heart of God is something we’re able to experience every day if we would just press in! So many people in today’s society have yet to encounter God’s Love, and therefore have a preconceived idea of what it really means or should look like!

Love Is Patient

God’s word is very specific about it. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 it describes love as “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs…

Transformative

God’s heart for us is in our everyday routines and can be expressed through just about anything. Whether it’s being patient during rush hour on your way home from work, or being kind to the person in front of you in the grocery line. Truly knowing God’s heart will completely change your life. It’ll transform your prayer life, your relationships, and even change the way you see people you don’t know!

Sons And Daughters

I remember being in Santa Barbara, California. I was meeting up with a friend from high school when I received the most simple, yet most profound revelation on God’s Love for the people around me. The people around me just so happened to be drunk and acting like every other college student does on a Friday night. I glanced at a girl on the street who looked to be about my age and I heard God say “She’s my daughter”. I glanced at her and then to the side of her was a young man about the same age and I heard Him say, ” And He’s my son.” The concept of God’s heart even for people who aren’t living as if they know Him wrecked my life completely.

Love Never Fails

God’s love is unchanging regardless of the mistakes you make in life. Regardless of your bad days, It remains the same. “It keeps no record of wrongs.” It chooses you every day, and hopes for the same pursuit in return! It never fails as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:8. So, if it fails, you know it wasn’t truly Love!

Defeating Unbelief, An Enemy Of Your Faith

by Jennifer LeClaire November 10, 2020

written by Jennifer LeClaire

With Babylon rising, cruel bondage is a reality for many in the body of Christ. Many blood-bought believers are running what feels like an endless rat race that steals their energy—and often their dreams and visions of a better tomorrow. I assure you there is a way of escape, but there’s a behemoth standing in between you and God’s best for your life. It’s an enemy so insidious that it’s difficult to recognize and perhaps more difficult to cast out because its very nature is to rob the faith you need to overcome it. That enemy is called unbelief. But nothing is too hard for God!

Unbelief is often the result of deferred hope that makes the heart sick (Prov. 13:12). This is not a new enemy. Rather, unbelief is an ancient foe that continues to oppress modern-day “believers” despite the centuries-old revelation that the just shall live by faith (Heb. 10:38).

Falling on Deaf Ears

When the Lord made promises of deliverance to the children of Israel in Exodus, those promises fell on deaf ears. Since faith comes by hearing, the spirit of unbelief works to deafen our ears so we can’t listen to what the Spirit of God is saying to the church. And unbelief often works through oppression.

God said to Moses, “Say to the people of Israel: ‘I am the Lord. I will free you from your oppression and will rescue you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with a powerful arm and great acts of judgment. I will claim you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God who has freed you from your oppression in Egypt. I will bring you into the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as your very own possession. I am the Lord!’So Moses told the people of Israel what the Lord had said, but they refused to listen anymore. They had become too discouraged by the brutality of their slavery.” (Exodus 6:2-9 NLT)

Unbelief And Discouragement

Is that you? Do you tune out during church because you’ve heard it all before and nothing ever changes? Have you stopped your daily devotions because you are too exhausted from work to spend time with the Lord? What types of thoughts go through your head when you lay down at night? What about when you get up in the morning? Are you discouraged by the brutality of Babylon?

The Amplified Bible translation of Exodus 6:9 says, “they refused to listen to Moses because of their impatience and anguish of spirit and because of their cruel bondage.” The Message says they were “beaten down in spirit by the harsh slave conditions.” Babylon (the world’s system) will certainly beat you down—and enslave you—if you let it. But you don’t have to let it. You can take a stand by the choice of your will to believe God’s promises and shut out the work of unbelief. You can renew your mind and send unbelief running.

Shaking Off Unbelief

I used to have a spirit of unbelief. Although I was studying faith, I simply was not able to apply the principles of faith with any success. I even doubted my own salvation. I was also full of fear and doubt, two other combatants to faith. Even still, I recognize unbelief trying to creep into my soul and put me back in bondage. We all have to fight the good fight of faith—every day (1 Tim. 6:12).

I’m declaring to you right now that it’s time shake off the impatience. By faith and patience, we inherit the promise of God (Heb. 6:12). It’s time to shake off the spirit of anguish. God has not given us a spirit of anguish. He’s blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places (Eph. 1:3). It’s time to shake off the bondages in our lives, whether that’s debt, religion, or some type of sin that’s hindering intimate fellowship with God.

Saints, it’s time to combat the spirit of unbelief that’s keeping us from our Promised Land. It’s time to fight the good fight of faith with fiercer determination than ever before. I’m talking about walking in the victory Christ died to give you. I’m talking about walking free from every bondage, including unbelief, that’s holding you back from your destiny. I’m talking about resisting the devil. He has to flee. Amen.

Patience: Love And Contentment Above All Else

by Emily Wheelock January 31, 2020

written by Emily Wheelock

Road Rage

“Get off the road! Learn to drive!” I yell from the driver seat of my beat up 1994 GMC Sierra Pick-Up Truck. My faith is being tested every second of every day. As you can see, one thing I’ve always struggled with is road rage and patience while driving. I am working on that, though. I need to realize something, yelling at Joanne in front of me, no matter what she’s done, is not going to make her not do what she has already done and it certainly is not going to make anything better. So, when my faith is being tested like that, guess what I do? Take a breath and sing one of my favorite songs, How Great Thou Art. It reminds me that no matter my situation, God is so much greater than what is happening.

Putting my faith in God gives me the knowledge that everything happens for a reason. Maybe there’s a reason why I’ve been blocked in, in the middle of 35 MPH traffic while the speed limit is actually 45. Everything happens for a reason. Being content with what’s happening is only half of it. You also have to put your faith in God and trust that He knows what is best for you. Be content because you can not change things. If you could change circumstances, you’d be God, and I hate to break it to you, but you’re not.

Patience

Having patience means being content. Accept the situation and move on with grace. Know that when you say something out of impatience, it will resonate and linger. That thing you said will be all you or another person will think about. It will cloud your mind as you feel guilty for what you said. It will also cloud the mind of the other person as they sit in wonder of what you actually meant. That’s not good. Eyes have then been taken off God and put on the situation. It can start fights or worsen fights and it can put a strain on relationships.

Allowing yourself to be impatient is a way of inviting temptation to the birthday party and if temptation gets invited she’ll bring her friend without telling you. That friend is the devil. He’ll come in and make himself at home, be rude to your guests and even steal the whole cake! If there is anything I have learned in my 20 something years it is to not trust anyone who steals cake! And while the devil is there, he is waiting, watching over your shoulder like a little helicopter devil, waiting for you to mess up. Once you mess up, he will be your little helicopter devil hype man. He’ll do anything to get you to mess up again!

Patience: Treat every situation with contentment

Do that and you will have the upper hand. Your self-control is not worth losing. That is the number one thing the devil wants to take from you. Your self-control is what keeps you from sinning. Once he gets that, well, that’s it.

As a single 20 something, you can bet my self-control is always taking a hit. It is the number one target of the devil every day. Eventually, I begin to doubt God. As a single gal, I’m living in the questions of “Why am I single? Am I not good enough? Why hasn’t God given me someone already?” I am left with a doubt in myself and a doubt in God.

David didn’t doubt God. He knew exactly what God wanted of him. I long to have that kind of hope in God. I also long to have the kind of faith that Daniel had. To walk into a lion’s den is pretty crazy, but to walk out, that’s insane. David walked into the den with all faith in God and came out unharmed. It’s miraculous! Our faith and trust in the Lord are what give us patience. Have faith and trust in Him.

Are You Expecting?

by Brian Taylor February 1, 2019

written by Brian Taylor

I am a father of three amazing children. In the time that my wife and I have been married, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the birth of two of the three children that God has gifted us. During the period of time in which my wife carried these wonderful blessings into our lives, it was common for people to say, “She’s expecting!” They might even have gone as far as to say, “They’re expecting!” This is a good feeling for a father, considering that I might have had some part in the process that got us to that point.

In this year 2019, there has been a great deal of prophetic insight given to this year, where many, including myself has proclaimed that this is a year of new birth, new oil or wine, and even a new harvest. I’ve previously stated that in terms of a harvest, it is going to require a degree of labor or plowing to prepare for the harvest.

As a husband, my level of expectancy is not quite the same as my wife’s.

She would be thinking of the prenatal care. Her thinking is on things like, if the baby is healthy at each stage of the pregnancy; if the living space is safe and harmonious for the child that would soon enter into the world; and which clothes, toys, and things required for the daily care as well. My thinking is on what we will name the baby, how will this baby impact our finances, and how ready I am for this change to our lives.

What this all boils to is that I began to recognize that when you are in a season of expectancy, you are also in a season of self-preparation. You know that something is coming and you begin to think of all the things you need to do to make room in your life for what is coming. When I previously spoke about preparation, it was in the sense of preparing the land, like a farmer who is plowing through before sowing the seed. However, once the seed has been sown, there is another preparation that has to take place because you know that a harvest can be expected.

In the same way that scripture tells us that no one builds a house without first counting the costs, you won’t find a farmer who sows seed without an expectation that a harvest will come. Expectancy causes you to reorganize, restructure, and rededicate. When there is a harvest that is coming, you have to have things in place to be able to handle that harvest. The harvest won’t handle itself.

When my wife was expecting our children, her body needed to be prepared to bring them forth. That meant that she had to be eating the right things, getting the right amounts of rest and exercise, and we had to set an atmosphere within our home that was inviting to what we were expecting.

If you are in a season of expectation, you not only have to plow through those tough things in the same way that a farmer prepares the soil to receive the seed; you’re also preparing room and establishing an environment like a couple expecting a newborn. You must reorganize your life in such a way that you can manage what is coming. You must restructure things in a way that sets you for the change the new thing will bring forth. You must rededicate yourself to those foundational things that will sustain you when you are about to be stretched beyond your normalcy.

If you are truly expecting, do not stand idly by hoping for the harvest. Now is the time to have an expectancy that moves you to prepare to receive the harvest. As you prepare with expectancy, you provide a level of ease and stability for what will come and a level of peace within you.

What If The Things You’re Going Through Are Pieces Of A Puzzle That Will Complete You?

by GOD TV January 15, 2019

written by GOD TV

Have you ever wondered why you are going through a lot of things in your life right now? Have you ever tried asking God why you need to go through a lot of pain? Have you ever thought of going to a place where nobody knows you and starting life all over again?

Life can give us so many surprises. So many ups and downs. So many unexpected moments that sometimes leave us empty and lost. It is full of events that will either build or break us. Moments that will make us happy or sad.

But despite this changing world, we need to consider that things happen for a reason. Maybe you are facing pain right now because you need to gain strength for the coming days in your life.

Maybe you are in a situation where you don’t know what to do next because you need to learn how to trust even in moments when you don’t see what’s ahead of you.

Maybe life became so difficult for you because you need to learn the things which you need to do in order for you to be able to handle tomorrow’s blessings.

And maybe you are currently doing your best right now, but still, nothing has happened because you need to learn the value of hard work.

God is not blind.

He knows everything you’ve been through. He knows that you are struggling. He knows all your problems. It’s just that God values your character more than your success. He wants to build the foundation first before giving you the greatest desire of your heart. For you to be able to enjoy every blessing to your heart’s content.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

God is working in your life. And even if everything doesn’t make sense right now, one day, you will be amazed by how He will perfectly complete all the pieces together. You will be surprised by how He will turn your mourning into dancing and your sadness into gladness.

And most of all, you will be overwhelmed the moment you realize that God didn’t waste every single tear you shed. Take heart! Everything you’ve been through will eventually complete you in God’s perfect timing.

No Man Can Match The Path That God Has In Store For You

by Vance K Jackson December 20, 2018

written by Vance K Jackson

“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis‬ ‭1:27)

God created you with a specific purpose in mind. Your steps are ordered by God Himself. He uniquely crafted you to reflect His Glory in the Earth, to display His majesty everywhere the sole of your feet shall tread. You are His carefully crafted creation. You are made in His image. Every gift, talent and ability that’s in you was deposited into you by God, The Creator Himself. Your gifts are a facet and reflection of God. Think about it, the Creator of the entire Universe, all of Heaven and Earth, shaped every one of your gifts, personality traits, abilities and talents to glorify and reflect Him! You are truly His workmanship and no one can take you away from Him. So run your own course, at the pace of your faith. Don’t compare your life or race to others. Don’t be distracted by the highs and lows of life. Don’t look to the right or left. He uniquely designed you for this time and this season. You are truly His, so execute like it – in every part and season of your life.

You are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalms‬ ‭139:14‬)

Your race was authored by God. Your path was carved out by His Word. Your Destiny was spoken by and out of God’s mouth. You are His creative work. When God created you, He breathed His Spirit into your body and gave you purpose. Your being and the very footprint of your life all are used to glorify Him and to lift Him up. Your creation is God’s signature. You are stamped by God to leave your imprint upon this Earth as a demonstration and testament of God’s power. Your very breath belongs to and is given by God. Your race and path was not meant to drain you – the race that God designed was meant to strengthen you, develop you and not to destroy you. You are His precious Treasure. So run your race with diligence. Trust God.

Don’t Look To Your Right, Or To Your Left

“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” (Ecclesiastes‬ ‭9:11)

Look to God for instruction, insight and direction. Focus on what Christ has commanded you to do and follow His Plan for your life. God does not give or declare destiny missteps. He is perfect and all of His ways are perfect. If you seek Him God will give clarity and will guide your path – if you allow Him. If you listen to the Voice of God and follow His Word, He will lead your path.

Who’s voice are your listening to? Are you listening to the opinions of others or are you heeding to what God has spoken and declared over your life? When you choose to follow God’s Voice, you’ll run with patience, diligence and integrity trusting God that He will lead your path. God has not forgotten about you. He wants to make your path successful. Trust Him in every season.

Run Your Race With Patience. Diligence Wins Wars

“He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.” (Proverbs‬ ‭10:4‬)

When you run with diligence, God will produce lasting results through the work of your hands. Satan wishes to sift you as wheat (Luke‬ ‭22:31) and to distract you from building and running. Keep building. Stay focused and keep running. Stay on the course that God has assigned to you. Run your race. Run on your destiny created designated path that God has prepared for you. On God’s path, there is assigned grace and favor. He will turn the hearts of kings and processes turning them in your favor. What path are you choosing to run on? Are you looking to people for validation? Or are you looking to submit to God allowing Him to guide your path? When you compare your God prepared-path to the path of others, you begin to covet what God has prepared for others instead of honoring Him for what He has prepared for you.

Press Toward The Mark

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians‬ ‭3:14)

When God has Called you, there is a prepared path that He wants you to follow. You cannot create and artificially manufacture your own self derived path and expect to get Godly results. When you follow God’s Word, He will direct your path. When you are in Christ, He will lead your every step. Running without Christ, you are bound to shipwreck. Christ is with you and He is for you. Your Destiny is shaped by His Word. When you follow His Word He will order your steps, causing you to flourish and prosper. The gifts that He’s placed in you will flourish when you stay on the Path that He’s prepared. Stay focused.

Unmatched

“For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside Thee, what He hath prepared for him that waiteth for Him.” (Isaiah‬ ‭64:4‬ )

For God has a prepared plan for you. No man can match the path that God has in store for you! No man can perceive what God has uniquely created and prepared for you. You are in His hands. Your path is uniquely created and designed by Him. What God has put together and orchestrated, no man can pluck it out of His hands. Your life belongs to Him and no one can take you away. Seek Him and He will lead your path.

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-6)
