Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a heart fulfilled is a tree of life. ~ Proverbs 13:12 NRSV

 

Word of the Lord

 

Hold on to Me during the wait; spend time with Me during the wait.  Run to Me My child even when things seem questionable and you are silently wondering if what you are hoping for will ever come to pass.

 

It is imperative that you remember that I am God and I know exactly when and how to bring the perfect answer concerning you.  When that day comes it will be hard for you to recall those despairing days because My joy will flood your soul and cause you to know My sovereign grace and faithfulness.  You will know the voice of gladness.  I say, you will know the voice of gladness.  For I will turn your sadness into great joy.

 

So run to me My child, I have many things for you to celebrate.  Even when it may seem debatable, Trust Me.  I give magnificent gifts to My children.  I am your Heavenly Father.  I am your deliverer.  I am your true source of hope, and I am emphatically the Miracle Worker who turns deferred dreams into trees of life.

 

 

Reflections

  • Will you make a commitment to stand firm and trust God even in the dark places?
  • Will you remember that He is light, and that there is no place so dark in which He cannot clearly see?  Nothing can dim His vision.  He will rescue you.
  • It is ok to ask God to baptize you in His love, and to infuse you with His hope, and faith.  He wants you to be totally transparent with him.  Tell Him all of your feelings and thoughts.
  • Remind yourself often that there is a day of celebration coming in which God will  bring great fulfillment.  In fact, you are on that journey right now.  Just keep walking with Him and thanking Him for His divine intervention, deliverance, and joy.
