Happy Friday, Everyone…
I would say that most of the time, our dreams, goals and wants do not come in our desired time frame. In fact, I’d say that God knows that waiting builds our faith in Him if we’ll continue to commit our lives to Him and remain willing (constant surrendering) to follow Him as He works out His perfect plan for our lives.
A lot of spiritual battles are not instant victories. God commands us to be faithful to Him while we give Him our “cares.” He wants us to live lives where we trust Him, learn to stop leaning on our own understanding, and go on with His joy covering our hearts, minds and souls. This is the victorious life He died to make available for us to live in. What a great Savior we have. He takes all of our care, works it all for our good, and then gives us His sweet joy to live in knowing He’ll never leave us nor forsake us. And along the way, we discover that His plan is sweeter and much more fulfilling than our initial wants, desires, dreams and goals.
Keep looking up to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
God bless,
Mark
