Have you no faith?

Read James 5:7-11

All of us wait on something. We worry about applications to colleges, our GPA's, our future's, the third world countries, or whatever. We want God to basically right all the wrongs at this moment. That would be nice wouldn't it? We are anxious people. Answers are always needed fast. But where is your faith? Have you no faith in God the All-Powerful? Do you not know that the Lord will make everything right in perfect timing? We can see in the old testament how God delivered the Israelites out of Egypt. He fed them with manna. And though He made them wander around the wilderness for 40 years, God was still faithful to His promise by leading them into the Promised Land. It doesn't stop there! We saw that God delivered Daniel from the lion's den. We saw Job painfully, yet patiently, waiting on God to save him. And what did He do? God restored Job and rewarded him for his faithfulness. Just even throughout the Bible! Remember how the Israelites were waiting on the Messiah? God sent the Messiah by sending Jesus! Is this not enough proof that God is faithful to all of us? God will restore us. Don't fret! Don't worry! Because we know that God loves us and He is true to His promises.

“Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.”

Also read Luke 12:22-34


Lift up your anxieties to God.

Pray for patience to wait for His perfect timing.

May God assure that you will be provided for.

Pray for the Holy Spirit to be with you and that He will change your mindset to be more like Christ's.
