WALKING AND WAITING

Lamentations 3:25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.

When we love somebody we like to do things we know will please them. In the same way whatever we do in the Christian life it’s going to involve walking it out by faith because we know that’s what pleases God.(Hebrews 11:6) 😊

We forget sometimes that God lives outside the natural realm, that He is Spirit, not limited by our natural world, by time or space. He is supernatural and He has now made us new creations in Christ which means we’re equipped to walk in the unseen supernatural world as well.

Our finite minds may shy away from the supernatural because it requires us to think outside of the box we are ‘comfortable’ in. Faith walks in the realm where we believe things are changing, even when it doesn’t look like it or feel like it. God is immensely powerful and He has given us His Holy Spirit to enable us to tap into His supernatural ability, to believe for the impossible because nothing is impossible with God.😊

For instance, Jesus told us to speak to our mountains and tell them to be uprooted and cast into the sea. He didn’t tell us to ask God to do it for us. He didn’t tell us to talk about our mountains until they seem insurmountable! Instead Jesus says we’re to talk to our mountains about how big our God is, how powerful He is and in His name we take authority over them and tell them to be uprooted and removed.

It requires us to walk in the Spirit, to seek Him for His way of thinking and doing things. Not everything happens immediately but while we’re waiting for things to change, God is at work in our waiting, and that requires our faith to be active to believe He is working! 

I’ll say it again, ‘God is at work in our waiting”. Now be encouraged and hold on to that knowing our verse reminds us, ‘The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.’😊 Amen.
