THE SEED
”‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise that I made to the people of Israel and Judah.’” — Jeremiah 33:14 (NIV)
God’s promises are unshakable. Unlike human words, which can be unreliable, His Word is eternal and true. When God makes a promise, He fully intends to fulfill it. Though His promises are certain, they do not always come to pass immediately.
Delays can happen for many reasons which could be God’s perfect timing while some promises are meant for a later season or our spiritual readiness.
Sometimes God prepares us before blessing us but disobedience can hinder His work in our lives. Yet, our faith-building tests can help strengthen our trust in Him. Even when waiting feels difficult, we can be sure that God is working behind the scenes. His plans are always good, and He never forgets His children. Our role is to remain faithful, patient, and prayerful while trusting in His promises. We can build our faith by being grateful, thanking God for what He has already done, praying consistently, asking Him to fulfill His promises in our lives, remaining patient, understanding that His timing is perfect and Following His guidance as well as obeying His instructions as we wait. Trusting God means believing that He is in control. Instead of trying to rush His process, we must submit to His will and allow Him to fulfill His promises in His perfect way.
BIBLE READING: Joshua 21:43-45
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, help me trust in Your promises and wait patiently in Your presence in Jesus’ name, Amen.
