Genesis 28:15 What's more, I am with you and I will protect you wherever you go....I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.
Jacob has just had the ladder leading up to heaven vision and God has given him this wonderful promise. I believe He says the same thing to us, that He'll be with us and protect us and He will finish giving us everything He's promised us in His word as we keep believing.
Jacob had to go through a lot of life experiences; being deceived and marrying the wrong woman, being cheated constantly by his relative, separated from his favourite son for many years, facing famine. He went through some things but in the end He received the blessings that God promised. God was faithful to him, never let him down and did what He said He would do.
God has prepared blessings in our future too that have our names on them and no one else can take them so we don't need to worry. He is in the process of preparing us to be in a place to be able to receive them because sometimes we have to grow in order to be ready to receive them.
It will be worth the wait though and we don't need to try to manipulate people or circumstances to get them. At the right time God will get whatever it is to us because He is in the middle of it all with us. He has us in the palm of His hand and we can trust Him to help us wait patiently in faith, not in discontentment, and not in fear that it's too late.
So be encouraged, God is in control and if we've gone through some things that the enemy meant for our harm God is in the process of turning them around for our good, and good things take time.😊
