Some things take forever.
It seems like just last week I was waiting on the birth of my first child, we were having a girl, my wife was overdue. We had gone to birthing classes together, we had the baby shower, we prepared the room, stocked up on diapers, It seemed like forever.
My oldest daughters name is Ashley and she is 21 yrs old now, it seems like just yesterday she was learning to walk and talk, her first day of school, her first school play.
Time is tangible we can feel it ticking by, sometimes slowly, sometimes fast
In each of our lives their will be moments that define us. God will call you and say GO or STAY, He may ask you to lead or follow. No matter how the question is framed, it is always the same core question. “Do you trust me”.
Is your faith in God strong enough to follow Him where ever he leads you.
The Israelites walked to within miles of their promise. Freed from captivity, crossed a river on dry land, lead by a pillar of fire. So close, out of millions only 2 men had the faith to enter the promises of God.
Believe in the promises God has shown you, never let go. God is a faithful God, He can not lie. There are dreams in your heart from God. Hang on to them, believe that you have already received them and you will see them come to pass.
Exodus 6: 6 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD.' "
Have an awesome week.
See you in church!
