Life goes through cycles of happiness and despair. There are moments when everything is going right and you are feeling blessed but then there is a pause. Why does that happen? God is constantly testing us. One of my favorite sayings is “there’s never a test-timony without a test” and it is so true. When do we testify the most? When God has brought us out of a situation we saw no end to, we praise Him when He shows up because He has perfect timing.
I have been going through situations where I’ve asked God for specific things and there are times when I can understand that He has a time for the things He has planned for my life but then there are times when I am simply human and become frustrated. I become frustrated because I have done all that I can do. I know that God expects us to do our part, all that we can do; my frustrations come from my impatience.
Then I remember the words of the song “Stand” by Donnie McClurkin” what do you do when you’ve done all you can and it seems like it’s never enough?…Tell me, what do you give when you’ve given your all, and seems like you can’t make it through? Stand and be sure. Be not entangled in that bondage again. God has a purpose. Yes, God has a plan.”
Stand. Stand, when you have given it your best. God will show up on time. He always does. I am testifying now before my blessing. He is not a man that He should lie. He has never broken a promise. I have to stand on faith because He has called me to do so. It is so easy to say but it’s hard to have faith when you don’t see how you are going to make it through. You don’t understand where the blessing will come from but that is the most beautiful part. God is the god of the impossible. He always makes a statement. He is the God of miracles. I am not supposed to understand.
Get on your knees. Pray. Pray again. Pray one more time. When you think to yourself, “I don’t know when God is going to show up” He is right there. Just hold on. Be strong. I believe that you can make it, just like I will make it. You can make it through. Joy comes in the morning. Praise God that joy comes in the morning.
After you have done all that you can, you just stand. He will show up on time.
