What circumstance have you lost all hope in? We all have one that just appears as if all is lost and it will never change. Our challenge is to wait on Him; to trust Him. It is a difficult task for those of us who prefer instant gratification.
The world offers us instant gratification with long term depletion. God is focused on intentional glorification with long term completition.
The Lord’s timing often leaves us to wait. The wait can be brutal. We may become desperate, and feel as if there is no point in longing anymore. The wait, however, is where His purpose is born. We must pray for patience, faith and perseverance knowing Our Father has a master plan even when it feels to the contrary.
It is faith that looks at a dark night sky and knows the stars are still shining.
They are still sparkling beneath the darkness until the right moment when their Master deems it appropriate for them to be revealed again. Your circumstance may be blanketed in darkness right now, but do not lose hope that The Lord will restore the light in His perfect timing.
“I will have reached the point of greatest strength once I have learned to wait for hope.” ~George Matheson
