Give God room to show Himself faithful
A promise is a promise. I walk by this wall every morning. Sometimes I pause to take it in, sometimes I keep moving... there are good days and bad days. But here is the truth that can't be shaken. We have been promised something... not so we can cling to the promise itself, but to the Promise Maker / Keeper.
I think about Abraham and Sarah often. 25 years of waiting. My 6.5 has nothing on them, but I feel a kinship with their expectation. I think of Hannah's bitter tears, and feel on common ground with her aching. In all this longing, I am getting to know my Jesus better... what He thinks of me and wants for me to know THROUGH my barrenness. Sure, God could've taken me the shorter way, but I was meant to learn some faith-fortifying truths going the long way... the way He intended and designed specifically for me. A way that He knew would keep me reaching for His hand.
These words from Andrea Howey put wind in my sails: One day at a time... little by little, step by step, inches turn into feet turn into yards turn into miles... God will get you where you need to be. He'll take care of what needs to happen. He's a God of His word. He’s a promise keeper. Just keep at it. One day you'll look back and will be astounded at how far He has brought you. Give God room to show Himself faithful. Because He so is.
