’And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience experience, hope:’’
Romans 5: 3-4
Maybe you have given,
served and sowed your entire life and never received so much as a “thank you” let
alone a harvest of any kind and you may wonder why you should continue to
live
in a way that hasn’t produced results?
But if only we can
persevere, we will reap the full harvest which is God’s abundant blessings.
I have strong Christian
friends who could not wait for God
to work in their lives but gave in to their desire of just
“wanting to be a husband or a wife” and married a non-believer only to end up
in misery and divorce.
I have also witnessed
others who had waited for a long period of time and had their first date in
years (met their spouse) well into their forties. I’ve seen former co-workers
go through interview after interview only to get the good job they desire after
months of searching. And I’ve known of those who have been blessed abundantly
after years of waiting on the Lord for a child.
Sometimes I wonder what
would have happened had Noah listened to all of the naysayers around him with
their discouraging words and gave up on building the ark, also what if Moses had
stopped at the Red Sea (and turned back), there is need for us to persevere so
that we will not miss the plan of God
for our lives.
For every discovery,
invention, and life changing moment, there were years of disappointments,
struggles, second-guessing, frustration and doubt that preceded it. As christian
singles, there is need for us to ask God for the grace to persevere.
