| Proverbs 3: 5- |
He lets us know that He hears us. He tells us, in a subtle small way, that only
God could make happen, that all is well and for us to hold out until later…(see
Where Did That Come From)
You may not
think that was something special, but I believe it to be God letting me know
that He heard everything. Some things
may happen right away, as that incident did, and other expectations may take
longer.
When things take longer than we anticipate, it’s usually
because what we request from God is not His best
for us at that time. It may not be
arriving on our so-called timetable,
but, if we wait and allow God to be God, then we will receive the abundant,
bountiful blessings of The Most High. “And
let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint
not” (Gal. 6:9).
Consider the story of Joseph.[1] Here was a man favored by his daddy. Jealous brothers sold him (instead of killing
him), into slavery in a foreign country, because he was “All that and a bag of
chips.” The Brother had game. (a gift).
Although a slave in his new place, Joseph was shown favor
in the household of his new master.
Sometimes we too are blessed, and we think it’s the greatest blessing
that God would have for us—but it’s not
God’s best…(see Where Did That Come From)

The man was so good at what he did that the Pharaoh of
Egypt called for him. How about
that? Joseph went “From the Pit to
the Palace.” In the end, Joseph’s brothers had to become
submissive to Joseph because God had blessed Joseph with much more than he
could ever have imagined.
Joseph had been lied about and mistreated numerous times,
yet he held onto his faith in his one true God: Jehovah. He didn’t allow circumstances to cause him to
take his eyes off of God, the author and finisher of our faith (Heb. 12:2).
Sometimes, I too feel trapped and hopeless as Joseph must
have; yet every time I see a butterfly,
it reminds me that God loves me, and that He’s sending me something beautiful
to fly across my path and brighten my day.
It’s as if God were presenting me with a present. He bestows so many
little blessings on us that sometimes we don’t even notice them.
So, if you’re feeling as if God just doesn’t hear you
through all of the tears you’ve shed, trust me, He hears, and, if you hold onto
His promises, your reward is on its way; “…but those that wait upon the
Lord, they shall inherit the earth” (Ps. 37: 9).

When God tells you that you can, don’t allow anyone to tell you that you can’t. God will never
leave us or forsake us. He’s right there
saying, “I acknowledge you and better things are coming.” ― “I
recently had to reread this for myself and grab hold to the promises of God”-
