Bloom (Believe) where you’re Planted (Now)!
BELIEVE NOW!
It's no secret that we're living in a microwave society. You've seen the commercials, "It's my money and I need it NOW!" -J.G. Wentworth.., We, yes I'm guilty of this at times as well, want what we want and we want it RIGHT NOW. God has given us this elaborate dream and we look around at what we have and who we are "right now" and that dream seems so far away...
God says you're going to be a homeowner but you're homeless and living with family members who don't believe you're worthy of anything. God says you're going to graduate nursing school, but you've already dropped out twice before and you're barely making ends meet. God says you're going to be a mother, but every treatment you've tried has ended in miscarriage and your husband has lost hope. God says you're going to speak to millions of people across the world, but you have a speech impediment and it appears no one has ever fully understood you. God says you're going to make six figures but you’re living paycheck to paycheck with nothing saved up.
Ask yourself.. What would it hurt to believe what God says about you? What's the harm in believing?
I understand that your current situation and the dream God gave you look contrary to one another. What I've come to know about God is He knows the end from the beginning, "Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass..' Isaiah 46:10." God shows you glimpses of your future, not to discourage you but to give you "hope!" Remember Jeremiah 29:11, "For the 'plans' I have for you, declares the Lord, plans' to prosper you and not to harm you, 'plans' to give you 'hope' and a 'future."
Right now doesn't look like THEN and HERE doesn't look like THERE. But it's what we decide to do (believe & keep working) NOW/HERE that will get us THERE! I'm not giving you an option to stop believing or stop working towards your dream, because I believe that if you're here, right now, reading this blog post YOU already believe it, at least some part of you does. We all know, it only takes faith the size of mustard seed (Luke 17:6). Faith is believing God can and that He will do whatever He's promised you. So, whenever you find yourself overwhelmed with your current situation, take a moment and remember what God said. In this moment, BELIEVE NOW! What's the harm in that?
