THROUGH FAITH AND PATIENCE

Through Faith And Patience TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: …imitate those
who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. –
Hebrews 6:12, NIV. TODAY’S WORD: In our culture today, people are
used to getting things right away. Some people say that we live in
a “microwave” society. In other words, we’ve been programmed for
immediacy. People don’t like to wait. But the scripture says, “It’s
through faith and patience that we inherit God’s promises.”
Sometimes, it’s easy for people to start out in faith. We declare,
“God, I believe I’m going to accomplish my dreams. God, I believe
I’m going to overcome this obstacle.” But, it gets harder when we
have to walk in patience. When you pray, can you say, “God, I not
only believe for big things but I trust Your timing? God, I’m not
going to get discouraged if it doesn’t happen immediately. I’m not
going to give up because it’s taken a week, a month or five years.
I know the set time is already in my future, so I’m going to wait
with faith and patience because I know that it’s on the way.”
Remember, through faith and patience we inherit His promises. Trust
His Word, trust His timing, and trust that your answer is on its
way! PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, today I declare that I trust You. I
trust Your faithfulness. I trust Your goodness. I know that You are
working things out in my favor and in Your timing. I declare that
through faith and patience, I will inherit every promise You have
for me in Jesus’ name! Amen.
