Through God’s Eyes
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.—1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.—Hebrews 10:36 (NIV)
God’s promises happen in God’s timing. Sometimes we mistakenly believe that our wants should determine what happens when we know deep in our hearts that God’s blessings happen according to His perfect timing. When we do His will, we must also be patient and trust that we will see the promise fulfilled.
Heavenly Father, help me to be a faith-filled and patient person worthy and appreciative of Your graces.
