TRUST GOD

God oftentimes give Believers the desires of their hearts and they think they are okay.  Like when you receive the solution from God but you did not apply. Definitely the problem will still remain and will not disappear.  More often than not the opposite is true to the expectations. God’s answer to our prayers can go deeper in meaning. God expects to see righteousness as a result.  The Bible says, “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:7-9        His ways are not our ways___ this was the mistake the Israelites made as they approached Canaan.  They thought the worst of their struggles were over when Moses led them out of Egypt.  When they got to the territory God promised their forefather Abraham, they discovered “the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified” (Numbers 13:28).  In other words, it wasn’t just waiting there for them.  It would take faith to drive out the inhabitants and conquer the land. Caleb and Joshua had this faith believing they could win over these people who lived in the promised land. (Numbers 14:30)  Out of the ten spies sent to see the land, only two trusted God. He was angered. This is the reason why the Israelites stayed in the desert for forty years. The punishment for those who did not trust the Lord; they will  die and will not be able to see the promised land, including Moses. You may be growing weary of waiting for the desire of your heart to come to realization but it’s good to know you’re going to need real faith to take hold of it. Realize God is preparing you for what it will require.  So wait with trust in His timing.  He knows what He is doing and is making you strong to receive what your heart most long for. Be blessed
