Peace in His Promise
Truth
For
a few months I have been dealing with a situation that I believe what is
happening is not God’s will, but He has not done anything about it. I
have not understood what my role should be in it so I have felt a sense
of turmoil over it. Recently, I began to pray desperately for a clear
answer from God about His will for me in the midst of it. Was I to make
a change or was He going to make a change. Sometimes God allows us to
get in situations that move us to a different place and sometimes He
allows us to be in these situations for other reasons and does not want
us to change anything. I needed to know which one I was in. So I prayed
and I prayed. One week went by, no answer. Another week went by, no
answer. Then at the end of the next week, on Easter morning, the
preacher closed His Easter Service out with these words, “If you are in
a situation in which you can’t understand what God is doing, remember,
in God’s timing, He makes all things new. Trust Him and He will make it
new.”
(Revelation 21:5)
I knew God had spoken a specific promise to me about my
situation. I was not supposed to do anything but simply trust God with
the situation and wait for His timing to make it new.
How did I know that God had spoken a promise to me about my
specific situation? My husband said, “You recognized His voice.” God has
made promises to me before and some have taken a long time and a great
deal of struggle to see them come to pass, but He has been faithful to
bring them to pass. I walked away from there with such a sense of peace
for the first time in a long time because I had a promise from God. And
I knew that all the promises of
God in Him are Yes and Amen, to the glory of God through us
(2 Corinthians 1:20).

The apostle Paul wrote, And
let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap
if we do not lose heart
(Galatians 6:9).

Dear
Sister, we must trust God in the midst of all our situations and
struggles because in due time we will see His new, His yes and His amen.
And when we do it builds our faith for the next time! God is so
incredibly good!
