1/17/16-How long?

How long are you willing to wait for a miracle?

If you choose to stop waiting for your miracle and leave your belief for it behind, will that make your journey better or will you never truly forget about the hope that was present during the waiting for your miracle?

The above is what came to me during worship at church this morning. It was profound to me…how long ARE we willing to wait for a miracle. I know the quick Christian answer is…”a life time”. However, in reality are there ever times you are believing for something, praying for it and investing time in the hope of it…and then just walk away? I think we probably do that all too often. Perhaps that miracle is no longer important to us…or maybe our hope or belief waivers and we decide the disappointment of it not happening yet is easier to deal with than to keep hoping.

I think it is during our ‘waiting’ time where the enemy tortures our belief and hope and can cause us to lose sight of our desire.

I truly believe God has your miracle ready to be delivered, but then we stop waiting right before he has prepared to deliver it. That’s just sad to think about. You are probably closer than you can imagine with receiving the miracle you have been praying on…waiting for and believing in…you’ve invested much time into the thought of it…don’t give up on your miracle…tomorrow could literally be your day…and if it’s not…keep believing tomorrow is your day until your tomorrow becomes your TODAY!

I’m reminded of that old Journey song chorus…’Don’t stop believing’…when you stop believing that’s when hope flees. It is better to have hope and keep believing than it is to give up your hope and belief…that would be devastating.

I am believing that 2016 will be the beginning of a new normal…a new normal of expectation…a new normal of seeing the miracles…a new normal of believing in the impossible and seeing the impossible become possible.
