“My sister, lean in to the delay.
So that you will not be [spiritually] sluggish, but [will instead be] imitators of those who through faith [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by patient endurance [even when suffering] are [now] inheriting the promises. Hebrews 6:12, Amplified
You are set on fulfilling God's purpose and plan for your life, I know. Then here comes what seems like a delay, when actually it's a blessing in disguise. The promise has not been denied. Do not be discouraged, my sister. Through faith and patience you will obtain every promise the Lord has made to you. Yes, you will hold it in your hands. On your journey, God will cause delays to slow you down so you can see what He's wanting you to see. When you’re very driven, you miss some things. Notice, Jesus didn't rush from miracle to miracle. At no point do we see Him ever running to do anything. He would pause and teach, perform a miracle and then pause and teach again. Yet, all of the books on earth cannot contain all of the miracles He did in such a short span of time. The Spirit of the Lord is with you and He is still operating the same way. He is doing great things in you, around you, and through you for His glory and then He is pausing to teach you. His delays are His teaching moments. Watch for them. Lean in to them.
Let's declare today, I thank God for the miracles, the signs and wonders. I also thank Him for the interruptions along the way, the delays, and the halting of things altogether. That's when He is teaching me the most and showing me things I didn't know. My God is a good Father. I love Him, and He loves me. He will continue to help me not be discouraged when things don't go as planned. He is working, and He is moving. He is teaching, and I'm learning. In Jesus' name, Amen. “
