“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.” Phil. 4:4-5
I must be honest with you, church, as I write these words of encouragement to you, they are really for me. In the morning, Tuesday, January 10th, my doctor is going to administer a Cervical Epidural Injection in my neck. Was I worried? Absolutely yes! Am I worried now? Absolutely not! What changed was my mindset.
“...I will wait, 'til my change comes.” Job 14:14 NKJV
Before you quit and give up in discouragement, consider the long and difficult transformational process by which a butterfly emerges from its cocoon. If you try to rush God's purpose and process in your life, you'll produce something deformed, something that can't get off the ground and fly. Perhaps you're thinking, “I can't wait for this to be over.” That's understandable. Job couldn't either. He said, “All the days of my hard service I will wait, “til my change comes.” But by God's grace, he survived and ended up with twice as much as he lost. So hold on, your change is coming! God won't give up on you, so don't give up on Him! There's work going on in you right now. You may not be able to see it or even understand it all. But understand this…. God wants to do a transformational work in your life.
