(Continued)
… God works in us through the process of preparation.
Many examples can be found in Noah, Abraham, Isaac,
Joseph and David how they all received a word from God – they had a promise –
they had a vision – a purpose – an assignment – a calling … but in all
instances it didn’t happen right away. There was a process. It took time,
perseverance, diligence, preparation in order for the promise to come to pass.
And maybe God’s given you a word my friend, a promise,
a vision, an assignment. He’s called you to do something for Him. Understand
that there’s a process of preparation that has to take place in order for that
promise to come to pass.
But Don’t be intimidated by it - don’t be impatient
with it – or impatient with yourself – Embrace this Process!
For God knows exactly what steps you ought to be
taking: where you need to be, what you need to be doing, what you need to be
reading/listening to/watching, what friends you supposed to have, what church
you supposed to belong to, what you need to be involved in, where you need to
be living, studying, working, etc. – He’s got the process all worked out for
you, knowing the beginning from the end! … He just needs you to walk in it.
(Ephesians 2:10)
