Day 14

Habakkuk 2:3 ~ “At the time I have decided, my words will come true. You can trust what I say about the future. It may take a long time, but keep on waiting – it will happen!” (CEV)

I like instant gratification. If someone tells me they’re going to give me something, I want it right then, I’m not a lay-away kind of girl. The same thing goes for my prayers. I want to pray about it today, and wake tomorrow with the blessing in hand. God promised me that Kesha’s Kakery would be internationally known; He even showed me the shop in Paris in a dream two years ago. When I saw that I was ecstatic, hopeful, anticipating some extraordinary financial overflow to come rushing through so I could begin to pursue this dream. I was expecting to quit my job and start baking full time. But, it didn’t happen like that, it still hasn’t happened. Does that mean I should give up on my dream of going to Paris to set up my shop? Of course not! Today’s verse reminds us that whatever God has promised us, whatever we’ve been praying for, it will come to pass! When HE has decided, not us, is when the blessing will manifest in your life. Just because it hasn’t happened yet, doesn’t mean you should give up. Don’t stop praying, don’t stop hoping, don’t stop dreaming the dreams He’s given you. Remember, God is not like man, He has no reason to lie. He keeps His promises. He wouldn’t have said it, if He didn’t intend to see it through. At my old church there was a song we used to sing, a portion of it says, “If the Lord said it, you can count on it. He will do just what He said. It is so, yes, it is so. He will do just what He said!”
