“Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.” Isaiah 26:4
Are you feeling lost or unsure about what the future holds? Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone. Isaiah 41:10 reminds us, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” These words serve as a powerful reminder that God is always with us and preparing us for the greatness ahead. It’s important to remember that our journey toward greatness may require some struggles along the way.
These challenges may sometimes feel overwhelming, but they are necessary for our growth and development. As we face these obstacles, we must trust in God’s plan for us and lean on Him for strength and guidance. Getting caught up in our desires and goals is easy as we go through life. Remember, some blessings are delayed, but that doesn’t mean they are denied. Of course, it’s a phrase we often hear, yet it’s easier said than done to hold on when things seem to be taking too long. But even in the midst of waiting, there is hope. Greatness lies ahead for those who hold on and trust in the timing of their blessings.
Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
The middle verse of today’s devotional reminds us that although waiting may make us feel weak and tired, our faith can give us renewed strength to keep going. So if you’re feeling discouraged by delayed blessings, remember that it doesn’t mean denied. Trust in God’s plan for your life and know that greatness is ahead. Likewise, it’s important to remember that everything happens for a reason, and sometimes things go wrong to put us in the right direction. If we accept the process and trust in God’s plan, we will eventually see that there is greatness ahead.
Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” This verse serves as a reminder of God’s power in our lives and how He can turn things around for us when we least expect it. When things don’t go according to plan, it’s important not to lose faith but instead hold on tightly to God’s promises because your breakthrough will surely come. Amen. Hebrews 11:6 says, “And without faith, it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” Amen.
Prayer:
Lord, I pray that you help me to be more confident in my ability to trust in your plan in Jesus’ name. Amen.
