Waiting in your waiting season with JOY

But she believed the words of Eli the priest that God would give her a son. And therefore, she was no longer sad but awaited the fulfillment of this promise with joy.

This is the essence of faith: believing something that is not yet visible. As Hebrews 11:1 puts it, “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

An excerpt and scripture that you needed to see from a Bible plan that I’m Studying.

Hannah: Trusting God With Your Problems: Day 5 • Devotional

I'm reading the @YouVersion plan 'Hannah: Trusting God With Your Problems'. Check it out here:

Hi friends and welcome!! We just go into it with no greeting or anything but it's like that sometimes! Ever just get in the mood not to say sorry? That's how I've been feeling! I no longer want to apologize for anything that I am not sorry about! Anywho that wasn't the point of today!

How many of us are in a waiting season and better yet how many of us are waiting

in our waitng season with joy? Me! I was NOT waiting with joy! It's like your a/c being out in the middle of summer and the mechanic says it'll take 6 months to fix. In our minds we would think that would be pointless because summer would be over but what does God think? He always has a reason for everyhing even though we may or may not see it.

Isaiah 40:31 But those who trust in the LORD for help will find their strength renewed.

Isaiah 55:8-9 "My thoughts," says the LORD, "are not like yours, and my ways are different from yours. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways and thoughts above yours.

Imagine thinking about life from the perspective of Isaiah 55:8-9! Everything should fall into place because HE doesn't think how we do and I'm glad that he doesn't. Because HIS ways are so much grander than ours and because he can see further than we can. Which SHOULD mean that it should be easier for us to wait patiently but it DOES NOT!

During the last 6 weeks the only thing that I could do was pray, fast, and ask others to join me in prayer and fasting! What I learned was that I COULD NOT gain ANYTHING by worrying (Luke 12:25). So I asked God to help me to stop worrying about things that I could not control. What are you worrying about that you need God to take? Are you missing your season of joy by worrying about the future?

No one WANTS to wait! Especially when it comes to major information but let's remember to honor God and

I pray that this message blesses you and that you share it with someone that needs it!
