Ready.... Or Not?


"His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’" ~ Matthew 25:21

My Pastor always says that faith is not about how hard you believe something, it's about how long you believe it.

So, when God tests us in the small things in preparation for something bigger, we're often ready for the bigger thing before God gives it to us.

The question is, not whether you're willing to do the small things. The question is, how long are you willing to do them?

You might be ready but God is testing your patience and your willingness to endure (Galatians 6:9).

Endure to the end!

God bless,

Do Not Grow Weary


"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not faint not." ~ Galatians 6:9

Are you tired the rat race? Tired of putting up with the same old thing, day after day without any sign of relief?

If so, God has made you a promise that if you continue to endure, you will reap a harvest in due season.

So, hang in there! Your breakthrough is coming!

God bless,
J.W.

Stand


“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” ~ Ephesians 6:10-13

As Christians, a lot of times we focus too much on action.

We say things like “walk into your season.”

Or “take back what the devil stole from you.”

Or “faith without works is dead.”

While all of that is certainly true, sometimes God doesn’t want us to act.

Sometimes, God just wants us to stand.

Through all that we’re going through, God just wants us to be patient and endure.

It’s hard, but as the Bible says, “obedience is better than sacrifice.”

Stand.

God bless,
J.W.
