Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:12 esv
A delay from God is not a denial. When God tells us He is
going to do something in our lives we want it at that exact moment. When it doesn’t
come at that exact moment, then we get discouraged. But The Lord does not act according to our time
schedule. He has His own. Let’s look at David. Samuel the prophet anointed him
to be king when David was just a little boy. He didn’t take the throne the next
day. He went through ups and downs. He ran for his life. He hid in caves. He
cried at times due to his great anxiety. However, at age thirty, God’s promise
was fulfilled. David became King.
God has not lied to you. If He said He is going to do
something in your life, then He will, but He will do so in His timing. Even on
your darkest days trust that God still has you in His hand. Trust that He is
working behind the scenes. Trust that He will fulfill His promises to you when
His timing is right. The job or position is not where you want to be, but know
that God is doing something in that place. Hold your head up high and believe that
God would never leave or forsake you. His promise is on the way. If God put a
desire in you, then He will bring it to fruition. Remember, a delay is not a denial!
