Has a promise been delayed?
Hope deferred us to be fulfilled eventually.
Hope deferred is hard. The waiting tries and test our very core.
We don’t understand why we have to wait in some situations and other situations there is an instant miracle.
All I know is in the waiting we’re learning to lean on His strength and not our own.
In the waiting we learn to worship in the hardest moments.
In the waiting we learn to be still and wait.
I have also found that in the waiting those who have been strength for others learn that He is their absolute strength. I have watched such Godly people endure battles that the enemy tried to use to destroy them but their faith increased during the storm. Hope deferred is a promise that He will do what He said. When the promise is fulfilled it will be life to all those around you. Your family has walked this with you. They have held you and lifted you up. They have cried with you, questioned with you, trusted with you. Some of them may have grown disappointed or weary but when this promise is fulfilled before their eyes every desolate, dead place in their life will come to life. The end of this deferment will be a testimony of God’s goodness and faithfulness.
I encourage you to hold on. The wait is almost over.
Proverbs 13:12
12Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
