Demands Dependence.

I have leaned into the arms of my Father and found comfort and strength.

June 4

Delayed deliverance demands dependence. I can’t do this on my own. Whether I need the deliverance, or I am praying and waiting for the deliverance of someone I love, I need help. I depend on my Heavenly Father for strength. I trust Jesus and His promise of freedom. He came to set the captives free. The Holy Spirit is my comforter and guide. He will give me wisdom and direction. I have leaned into the arms of my Father and found comfort and strength. We don’t grow our faith unless we have a situation that requires faith. We don’t learn to trust unless we need to trust. We don’t get a miracle unless we need a miracle. We all want to see a miracle, but who wants to sign up for the tragedy before the miracle.

I know He is shaping me, I know he's up to something good. It's just really hard when life isn't what you thought it would be. When you are still waiting for the Miracle. When you are still waiting for the scales to fall to the floor and deliverance to come. When you are waiting for freedom and it seems like it will never come. I was starting to bend under the weight of the waiting. And then came God. He reminded me that I'm not forgotten and that He's not done yet. He reminded me that God wins. The battle is His and not mine. I simply need to be still, trust He is God, and lean into Him.
