DESTROYING
DELAY
I Samuel 1:9-20
Devotional:- “And it
happened, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli watched her mouth”
(V.12) NKJV
Sometimes in the
life of a child God, there could come a time of delay. This is when God’s
promises seem foot-dragging, and expectations are not fulfilled when expected.
When you have been praying about some situations and nothing seems to change.
Sometimes such periods defy all kinds of wisdom and if care is not taken such a person’s
faith could become cold. Such times are for you to grow strong enough to
receive and retain your inheritance in God.
Please know that the
state of delay is not the perfect will of God for your life. And I will not
encourage you to take it like that. As for Hannah, she would not take a no for
an answer. The only thing is that few people will be willing to go to that
level of desperation. Most people will rather give up too soon.
If you want to see
any form of delay broken in your life, you must be determined to see the glory
of God. Stop complaining and start sincerely crying to God in prayer. Refuse to
give up your faith. He will answer and show you what to do. Just obey His
instruction; it will deliver you out of destruction.
God could speak to
your heart or instruct you through the message of a man of God. Take His
instruction by faith. Step out in that grace, hold on to His word, and be
willing to wait patiently till you see your change. God will wipe your tears;
He will bring a change and soon you will have testimonies of joy.
PRAYER: LORD,
LET ALL THE WORKS OF DELAY BE BROKEN FROM NOW IN MY LIFE.
“IF YOU
TAKE IT EASY, YOU COULD BE EASED OUT”
