If I am going to be real and honest, then today is one of those days I am just tired of waiting. Some days I am filled with excitement and the knowledge that victory is coming! And then days like today are just hard. I am weary. I am tired. I want to give up.
But God has given me a promise. Granted, today is one of those days I would really like to get a promise exchange or a promise refund. 🙂 This promise just seems to be taking forever.
Don’t promises come with expiration dates too? No, not in God’s time economy. Even when Abraham and Sarah were well beyond child-bearing years, God delivered on His promise of a son, an heir, a future for the nation of Israel.
Quite honestly, some days I question whether it is all really worth it. The pain, the hurt, the trials. It just seems like too much to bear.
But then I realize that I have a Heavenly Father who loved me enough to sacrifice the one thing that meant the absolute most to Him….His Son…..so that He could spend eternity with me. With me. Lowly, messed up, and wanting to quit me.
So, although today I want to give up and throw in the towel, I won’t. Because I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT I KNOW that:
– God is the Promise Maker and the Promise Keeper
– His timing is perfect
– All that I am going through has been filtered through His Hands of love for my good and His glory.
And I am fighter. So, I will press on, even on the bad days.
Patiently Waiting on God
