Galatians 6:9
"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith."The road to salvation is long and narrow! The road to blessings and the promises of God is just as narrow and thorny and difficult!! BUT, we will receive all that God has for us IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP!!!
Along this narrow road is temptations, tests, trials, hardship, heartbreak, obstacles, setbacks, God's correction, and daily choices. How we respond to each of those things will determine how long it takes for us to reach the promise land!!!
For those of us who have received some promises of God, like Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and David, who all had to go through many trials and tests before they received their promises, it can seem like the promises will never come, because it can take decades of waiting on God to fulfill His Promises!!
But the word tells us, God is not slow in fulfilling His promises! Oh Lord have mercy on us, and give us strength to keep waiting!!
Habakkuk 2:3“For the revelation awaits an appointed time… Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.”
Numbers 23:19
"God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?2nd Corinthians 1:19-20
"For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us"
Joshua 21:44-45
