Isaiah 45:3 And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness - secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
Because of Jesus God has blessings stored up for us that we don't know about yet - they're hidden for us to walk into at the appointed time, but He does want us to believe for them. Jesus reminded his disciples that we get what we believe for.
God says "I will do this." It's not an if or a maybe, it's an "I will" so He gives us rock solid grounds for believing. We see another instance with Jesus....
Luke 5:6-7 And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear!...soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking.
Jesus blessed Peter, James and John with a catch of fish that was totally off the wall - outlandish - and it was supernatural, because they knew there were no fish out there that morning. They didn't have to ask Him how it could happen, they just obeyed what He said - they launched out. They experienced a "this time"!
Thankfully when God tells us to do something He doesn't ask us to work out if it can be done, or to make a spreadsheet of possibilities, or the likelihood of it succeeding!
Is God asking any of us to launch out? If so, we can be confident that He has outlandish, supernatural provision waiting for us too and we don't have to work out how. Maybe you've tried and failed before but God is saying to you 'this time'. 😊
