[Journey with Jesus – Day 2]
“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfil what he has spoken to her.”
It takes courage to hold onto a promise. We can sense God speaking, sometimes so clearly, and yet it feels like our circumstances make the fulfilment of this promise seem so unlikely. Over time we may begin to wonder if it was our imagination playing tricks on us; however, when God speaks – and he still does today – we are called to listen, to obey his word, and to hold onto faith. Obviously we need to test God’s word – asking others, praying over the promise, but when we are clear that it is God who is speaking then we need to cling to this and to trust in him. When we do so, we will be blessed. God is faithful and will fulfill what he has spoken to us. His timing is not our own, but he is working out his purpose in us and through us, even in the waiting. He is a promise-keeping God, so hold on to him.
