This gets you to thinking.....

 There have been many times in my life where I have been challenged in my beliefs and where I stand.  I have been going through a lot of ups and downs over the past few weeks and I have noticed that it seems to be getting harder sometimes to really be able to stand on the promises of God.  Some of you may know what I am talking about, some may not.  Words spoken to you by a prophet of God.  I know that God's promises are true and He will not let His words return void.  Sometimes it is hard to hold on to them though.  Especially when it seems to take forever for them to come to pass.  I just want to let you out there know I understand what you are going through and that you are not alone in these feelings. Some of you may be questioning whether or not you really heard from God or if you have done something wrong to delay it coming to pass.  I have an answer for you.  God is in control of our lives and He does not work on our schedules like we want him to do.  He has a plan for our lives and it will come about in His timing.  We also have to consider that there may be others involved and God will not go against ours or anyone else will.  He gave that to us as a gift.  Just pray and hold fast to the promises and know that God is in control.  Gal 6:9 says " And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not".  Also Hebrews 10:23 says " Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering ; (for He is faithful that promised;)"

 Just know that He is with you in all that you do. I leave you with this John 14:27 " Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

       Be blessed and hold on to those promises and never let them go!!!!
