Ecclesiastes 7:8

Sometimes we only see the true worth of a journey at its conclusion. Because it’s only then we can look back and see how the hand of God was at work. And while beginnings hold a wonderful promise, it’s often the lessons we learn and the growth we experience along the way that make the end more valuable than the start. That why Solomon reminds us of the wisdom in embracing the process of change, no matter how long it takes. For just as the repeated lapping of the water slowly shapes a precious stone, or the gradual growth from a small sapling to a mighty oak, change requires patience and perseverance. But we can rest assured that the outcome will be worth it. Because when we rely on God and trust in His timing, the patience we exhibit will bring a harvest of blessings beyond our imagination. So in the journey of change, let us anchor our faith in God’s promises. And know that the destination He leads us to will always be better than we anything we could have ever dreamed.

Psalm 27:14

Nobody enjoys waiting, as it can feel like an idle and frustrating pause in our lives. But time we spend waiting on the Lord is never wasted. Because those moments of patience and anticipation are filled with opportunity. Opportunity to grow in faith, learn lessons of endurance, and strengthen our trust in God’s timing. It’s a time for reflection, prayer, and self-discovery. Waiting on the Lord is a purposeful act of surrender. A recognition that He knows what’s best for us. The delays we encounter often pave the way for divine blessings, molding our character and preparing us for the plans God has in store. So although we don’t like to wait, it can be a period of profound transformation and spiritual growth. And in our patience we learn to trust in God’s timing. And find endurance in the anticipation of His promises, knowing that our hope is a beacon of light in the darkness. so in every season of life we can be steadfast knowing God is there guiding us through it all.

James 5:7-8

Although it takes patience and time, witnessing a seed grow into a plant is a deeply satisfying and awe-inspiring experience. It reminds us of the miraculous process of life unfolding before our eyes. From that tiny, seemingly insignificant seed, emerges a complex and beautiful living organism. This process is a testament to the wonder and intricacy of nature, highlighting the Creator’s wisdom and design. Waiting for God’s abundance in our own lives takes patience as well. Just as a farmer patiently waits for the harvest season, we are encouraged to be patient, knowing that God’s timing is perfect. And His abundance might not always be immediate, but it is certain. God’s plans for us are filled with goodness and blessings, and as we patiently persevere, our faith grows stronger. And we can fully trust in His abundant provision. Because God’s abundance is not just about material blessings but also spiritual growth, endurance, and the assurance that not only is He returning soon, He will fulfill His promises in due time.

May 4th – Job 42:10

Job 42:10

The phrase, don’t judge a book by its cover doesn’t just apply to people, but also situations. When Job’s friends saw his misfortune they were sure he deserved it. They assumed, incorrectly, that Job was suffering because he had sinned against God. How many times as Christians do we do the same? How many times have we thought that those struggling must have done something to deserve it? But the truth is there many be a variety of reasons for someone’s troubles. And it isn’t our job to judge. But rather to encourage, help, and love them through the storm. To remind them of God’s great love, goodness and mercy. And that success and growth are not always immediate. We work in God’s timing. Which mean we may encounter setbacks and obstacles along the way. But if we remain steadfast and persevere through these challenges, like He did with Job, God will bless us mightily, repaying us twice what we lost.

Esther 4:14

With all of the violence and persecution facing Christians around the world, it’s easy to get discouraged. But now more than ever, it’s time to stop remaining silent and start working for God’s kingdom. Because with or without us, God’s plans will be fulfilled. And it’s up to us whether or not we choose to receive the blessing of being a useful part of that plan. Think of Esther. If she hadn’t answered God’s call, He still would have saved His people. But Esther wouldn’t have shared in God’s glory, or had been queen if she told God no. As Christians we are called “with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began” (2 Tim. 1:9). That means in His perfect timing, God has placed us right where He wants us. So no matter the circumstance, rejoice! For not only has God made you for a time such as this, He gives us the privilege of working with Him hand in hand!
