Hebrews 6:15 "And so ,after he had patiently endured,he obtained the promise"
There are three ways where God gives an answer to our prayers.It can be an YES,a NO or a WAIT!WAIT is the toughest answer that one can get.It requires real patience to WAIT upon the lord.But the bible says "Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength like an eagle".We can see even Paul talking about endurance.
Each of us have lot of UNFULFILLED or THE YET TO BE ACCOMPLISHED - promises in our lives and are eagerly waiting as to when these will turn true in our lives.But when the situations are absurd,when there are storms of trials and tribulations rising up against our lives,when we begin to feel that our present situations does'nt seem like they are leading us to the promises that GOD has given us.., Thats when we tend to lose our endurance.We feel hard to hold onto it.
Abraham was a person, who endured his promise.God told him "I will make you a great nation" wherein the situation he was facing was exactly opposite to the promises God had given him.He was too old to have a son!!!He had to separate from his nephew lot, whom he loved dearly.He faced a situation where the king tried to take away his wife.God even asked him to leave his house and go to the place where GOD would show him.He was put in a situation where he was in the wilderness and was in a NO-WHERE situation!!He didnt see any way where he could reach his promised land.But he held onto the promises what God had given him,he patiently endured for his promises to turn true... and GOD was faithful enough to fulfill what HE had promised.
Dear friends,GOD can turn your NO-WHERE situation to NOW-HERE situation.He can say SEE YOUR PROMISE IS HERE!!!If GOD has given you a promise, and the situations seem like they are contrary to the promises what GOD has given you.. All you need to do is to patiently endure like Abraham did and it will come to pass.Are you ready to endure the promise patiently???
Let me know.....
