Time doesn't phase me, ever since it lost its hold on me. ;Part 2

If you recall yesterday's devotion was on "time doesn't have a hold on me anymore." If I'm being honest we all let it have a hold on us sometimes. If we have a deadline or a time we have to have something finished or done by we tend to get stressed. I'm going to be completely honest, my husband had a time sensitive situation that was stressing us both completely out lately. As we woke up and tried our best to fix this situation we hit a dead end. I then began to pray knowing if no human can help my God can change some hearts to fix this. As I prayed I came across a picture it said "Don't worry God is going to bless you in the next hour." I felt it go all over my body that it was God telling me he had this taken care of no matter what humans had to say about it in that moment or how it looked to us. As I had done all I could I left the rest up to God. It wasn't in that hour, but we got a call 3 hours later saying the situation had been resolved, and our deadline had been changed, that we didn't have to worry. I knew it was God and I remembered the picture I had saved. God came through, right on time, not a second late and not a second early. Now some might say but wasn't that 2 hours late, Honestly though, no, it wasn't at all, it was right on time. Same as in the Bible when they thought Jesus was 4 days late for Lazarus, as when Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazarus' sister,  Martha, met Jesus, and told him, "Lord, if only you had been here my brother would not have died. But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask." I honestly didn't notice it until tonight when I type it out but notice the ending of what Martha says, "BUT EVEN NOW I KNOW THAT GOD WILL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU ASK." That speaks so much volume, alone. She was beyond broken in that moment she had just lost her brother, but yet she still had enough faith in God to understand that even if he was so called "late" Jesus still could heal him. She had enough faith, that time didn't have a hold on her. Jesus wasn't four days late. He was right on time. If you're feeling behind schedule today don't worry, God has you and your blessing coming right on time. You just have to have faith like Martha. That no matter if you seem behind Jesus is right on time. Trust God's timing not your own. If God does it, it'll never be late!

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
