Isaiah 46:13 For I am ready to set things right, not in the distant future, but right now!…
In an age that loves instant gratification, that wants everything ‘right now’ it’s interesting that God has put it in His word that there are in fact some ‘right now’ moments with Him too.
We all want things sorting out and here is the Lord saying He’s prepared to do something right now, not way off in the sweet bye and bye.
Is He waiting for something to start it off? Do you think He’s looking and waiting for people who will agree with what He says, and believe what He promises, so He can respond to their faith and make it happen?
Isaiah 30:18 So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion… That verse shows us God wants to do it, but He has to wait for us to come to Him in faith. I’ve sometimes gone to Him in desperation, and I expect we’ve all been there, but if I’m honest with myself there’s usually very little faith in desperation, it’s usually filled with fear and complaining rather than faith! 😊
God is a faith God and He responds to our faith to believe Him for what He’s promised us but are we complaining because God’s not doing anything!?
Is it that we’ve got the wrong end of the stick and He’s ready to set things right but we’re so caught up with what we see and feel that our doubts are shouting louder than God’s promises in our hearts?
Perhaps it’s time to go to Him afresh, to lay down our complaints, fears and doubts and say ‘Yes Lord, I believe You can do it and ask You to do as You say and help me to stand in faith to believe that You are, even when I can’t see any evidence of it yet. Amen.’
