Don't Stop Checking the Mail

Sometimes we find ourselves on the waiting end of things with God. 

We have a problem that needs His attention so we call out to Him. We call out... and then we wait. We wait on Him. We wait for Him to respond. 

Often times for me, His response is quick! As soon as I pray, I see His answer. And other times, the wait is a little longer. And I'll be the first to say that I can get a little impatient in the waiting. So impatient that I start to doubt He will even come, or is even on the way... or gosh if He even got my message at all! 

There have been things I have been praying for for literally 30 years. When I first started praying, I had a lot of expectation. I couldn't wait to see how He would respond and figured He would answer quickly! But then time passed and I wasn't seeing ALL that I was praying for... yes, I would see partial answers, but not the FULL solution. I became like one who was once very expectant to get a package in the mail to one who stopped looking in the mailbox and even stopped looking down the street to see if the package was on its way. I stopped expecting. 

(insert sigh)

That is a tragic statement. 

For our lack of expectation is a symptom of our hope dying. And THAT is something to press an alarm button for! 

God never wants us to give up on Him! And the minute we stop hoping, is the minute we stop believing in His faithfulness. 

GOD IS FAITHFUL!

Our question today is: Have you stopped looking in the mailbox for His response? Have you stopped looking down the street to see if He is on His way? Have you stopped expecting?

This morning, God was speaking to me about this exact thing and saying, "Valerie, don't give up! I'm on My way!"...

***

I am almost there. I am almost there. I am almost there. You can trust that I am on My way! I will not leave you high and dry, my sweet friend and dear one. I will NOT let the enemy take you under or down. 

This is not a day to despair! This is a day of REPAIR! For I come with tools in My hands to fix your house and make it right! That's what I do! I come with solutions so that you can watch Me fix it in your sight! Does a person despair when their water pipe breaks? No! They simply call for a solution and the solution comes on over! AND SO I AM YOUR SOLUTION! I come with My hammer and saw and nails. I come with my toolbox! I come and make it right, for that is what I do!!  I Am your solution, darling. I am coming. I am on My way. I am almost there. Trust Me.




Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait EXPECTANTLY.
