Have you lost your faith in the middle of the process? Remember, what you start in faith, you have to end in faith. Are there areas in your life where you started off believing that God can and God will do a thing and now you are in a place of wondering if He can or will? Areas where you trusted God to do whatever it is you needed done? Areas where you don’t understand why things are going the way you planned or should I say the way they used to go? If so, make sure you are still trusting, believing, waiting, and wanting God to move and manifest the way you trusted and believed Him when you first began the process.
God is a good God and timing is in His hand. He’s in control and He will work everything together in our lives for our good and His glory. Timing is not a problem for God. He knows the perfect time for everything we need and He is well able to bring everything together at that perfect point in time. The problem with us is that we sometimes give up in the middle of the process. We have to learn how to stick with the process and we need to make sure we never give up. We have to make sure that we remain steadfast and immovable until we get to the promise which is always at the end of the process.
When you think about baking a cake, there is a process you must go through to make the cake. You have to make sure you have all of the ingredients. You then have to mix the ingredients together. You then have to prepare the pan for the ingredients and once the pan is prepared you have to pour the ingredients in the pan. You then have to set the oven to the right temperature because cooking the cake to fast or to slow can cause the cake to fall or not come out right. Then you have to wait for the cake to bake. Waiting for the cake to bake and cool can sometimes be the hard part because you are ready to cut the cake and enjoy what you have made. It is only when we go through all of the processes with faith and patience, that we get to actually enjoy what started out as a process with a lot of different ingredients but through faith, patience, and a process, it ended up as the promise of a cake that we can enjoy.
We have to trust, believe, and wait on God. We have to stay in faith and continue to talk to God and ask of God. We have to stop getting discouraged and giving up in the middle of the process. We have to remember that the same God that started the process with us is in the midst of the process and will be with us as we walk into His promises. We have to stay in faith and trust Him to do what only He can.
