Everyone has their own sins. Maybe yours isn’t alcohol, clubbing, cussing or adultery. Maybe yours is simply thinking you're better than them. Arrogance and ego.
God has unlimited favor, unlimited power. God being good to you doesn’t stop Him from being good to someone else. The Scripture says, “It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” He’s just waiting for you to ask.
Proverbs says, “Don’t say I’ll get even for the wrong; wait for the Lord to handle the matter.” If you’ll wait, God will vindicate you better than you can vindicate yourself. His solution is better than your solution. Hold your peace. Remain at rest. You may not see anything happening, but God is up to something.
God is counting on you to tap into His favor, to see the surpassing greatness of His power. That takes bold prayers; that takes people who will take the limits off of God, people who won’t be moved by how impossible their dream looks.
We don’t know what God is up to. God doesn’t send the storm, but He doesn’t waste anything. He wouldn’t have allowed it if it wasn’t going to work to your advantage. Sometimes it’s not the enemy; it’s God orchestrating things we don’t like to move us into our purpose, to prepare us for what we’re going to need later.
Be inspired by this message from Joel, "God's Purpose Will Prevail". https://t.co/v5OAg8hxlL
On the way to your purpose, there will be divine delays, divine detours. The route may not be what you expected, but you’re still going to get to the destination He has for you. Maybe people do you wrong. Setbacks that weren’t your fault. It’s not catching God off guard. He knows everything. It’s positioning you for greater things.
It takes faith to leave it alone. When you take your hands off and you let God take care of it, that’s not a lack of faith; that’s great faith. When you can say, “God, I trust You with my weeds. I trust You with things I don’t understand. I’m not going to get in a hurry and try to fix things that will damage my harvest. I’m going to leave it alone.” That’s a powerful position.
