Manna for Your Morning

“Is anything too difficult for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.” — Genesis 18:14 (NAS) Today’s society has us geared for what’s fast and quick. We want the express lane in life. Waiting is an inconvenience. However, God is not moved by our timetable. He has an appointed time. There is a time for every activity under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Abraham waited more than 20 years from the time God promised him that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5) until the birth of his son, Isaac. So, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise (Hebrews 6:25). May we be like Abraham and patiently endure. We don't have to know when or how, just know that God does fulfill all of His promises! Nothing is too difficult for Him.

I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.  — Psalm 40:1-2 (NLT) If you are crying out to God, know that He hears you. Wait patiently and expectantly for the LORD. He is faithful to lift you up, out of the pit of despair. Keep your hope in Him alive. Our heavenly Father will put you on solid ground and make your steps secure.
