Have you ever had something that you wanted to see happen and knew that it was God's will that it happen, but had to wait for it to happen? I have a few things like that and I know a number of people that know God's will is to provide what it is we are praying for, but God's plan up to this point has been not to do it.
In times when we are required to wait and hope, there are some things that help me.
Remembering God's Word to Abraham when Sarah laughed about having a baby in her old age: Genesis 18:14 "Is anything too hard for the LORD?" The answer is of course no. God can do all things.
Another thing that encourages me is Luke 18:27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
What we can't do, God can do. There is nothing too hard for God. We must trust Him for it. We must continue to seek His face to know His will and count on Him.
If it is God's will, it will happen. We must remain faithful, hopeful, and confident in our King. We don't need to panic, force the issue, trust in anything else, or seek salvation or answers in another source.
As we sang Sunday at Living Hope,
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God…
Into the darkness you shining
Out of the ashes we Rise
There’s no One like You
None like You.
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who can ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?
