It’s thanksgiving and as we give thanks for family, and God’s blessings… however, there are other important things we are praying for….believing for. But for those of us that have been struggling, i want you to really believe today… really take this into your heart…that God is listening,
and we must Not give up! This be your Holiday scripture.
Micah 7.7 says, “But me, I’m not giving up.
I’m sticking around to see what God will do.
I’m waiting for God to make things right.
I’m counting on God to listen to me.”
What are you waiting for? a new car, stock market, a prodigal, vacation, or just the weekend?
But it begs a much higher question and a much deeper answer. What are you waiting on from God?
There is temporal and eternal.
There’s natural and supernatural
There is walking in the flesh or in the spirit
Although we can only worship God in spirit.
So, what are you waiting on from God? Really… when was the last time you had a list for Father God. Maybe it’s nothing but a wish list Or something you have occasionally dreamed of. BUT… are you waiting on God for it? Or for the economy to turn around, or the other person to come to their senses, or for you to get a break? Be honest, what have you laid out before Father God lately?. What are you praying for? What have you spoken to? Where is your part of faith? Where is that part YOU have not given up on? You know, “If I SAY to the mountains move…it will move!” How can one stick around to see what God is going to do if you are not speaking your faith? Believing YOUR faith. You know, the work of believing in the evidence of things not seen… YET! The part of faith that counts on God to listen to you!
What have you purposed in your heart to believe for like the grandma who never stopped praying for your salvation? Are you waiting for such an answer from God on anything? Or said another way. In what area of your life are you desperate for god’s intervention? And God’s direction?
I am NOT giving up…I am waiting for God!
These are tough questions. This can be just a morning prayer or it can become a purposeful and faith ladened thought. A premeditated determination to put out a fleece before God. A measure of faith that you will believe for and believe He will make things right!
NOT a one-off prayer, but one of burning faith, of speaking, faith! The I believe in faith even when in the natural there is nothing but bleak darkness. and only the evidence of hope and nothing more.
Where is the child that has become a more mature steward of God’s word? Where is the teenager who has been weaned from God’s milk to the meat of his word?… Show me! …. Show yourself! Speak to yourself concerning the higher things of God.. Speak to the mountain of your fears and stumbling blocks and bind them in Jesus’ name. Speak to these other hopes that were but a fleeting wish list or Christmas list.
But now they can become, a written down on the refrigerator door of your heart and faith in God kind of tenacity… waiting and believing in God to answer.
You’re waiting on God becomes a hope in God… of faith in God to perform another word.
Faith for his word was placed in your heart for this and they cannot return void. What are you waiting for? What are you hoping for and what are you believing in God for?
Choose you this day what the confessions of your mouth will be,
not just for Thanksgiving but for every day!
I Pray each of you have the most thankful of Thanksgivings… I love and pray for you all!
Michael W Smith Worthy is the Lamb Hallelujah
