When God gives you a promise<\/i> or a vision<\/i> for your life, it\u2019s like a seed; it needs time to take root before it can bear fruit. It\u2019s like the birth of a baby. First conception, then implantation, then pregnancy, and finally the day of delivery. And what do the parents do during this time? Prepare! They get ready for the challenges and responsibilities of parenthood. <\/p>\n
You may think<\/i> you\u2019re ready, but God knows<\/i> when you\u2019re ready. Though he had already been anointed king, David had to wait about 15 years until God removed Saul from the throne. And during those years he learned valuable lessons. Here is one of them: \u2018Don\u2019t be impatient for the Lord to act! Keep travelling steadily along His pathway and in due season He will honour you with every blessing.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a037:34\u00a0TLB) <\/p>\n
You must learn the difference between what you<\/i> can do and what God<\/i> can do. Fools rush in! If you don\u2019t want to risk delaying the fulfilment of God\u2019s plan for your life, don\u2019t get ahead of Him. \u2018The vision is yet for the appointed time\u2026 it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it; for it will certainly come.\u2019<\/i> (Habakkuk\u00a02:3\u00a0KJV) Everything God does is by appointment. And an appointment is simply an event that has already been set. God has scheduled a time for bringing to pass two things in your life: His<\/i> promises and your<\/i> vision. And there is great peace in knowing that nothing the enemy does can pre-empt these two things. <\/p>\n
So, when you grow impatient, remind yourself, \u2018My life can\u2019t end without this happening. God said it, and He will do it!\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
