“ I have been waiting in the Lord for a long time for Him to bless me with a job but nothing is happening. I sometimes feel as if I am wasting my time here in the church as I am not getting what I am asking for...”These are the words of a young man I was speaking with in church. He was fed up, hopeless and very disappointed. He did not want to hear a thing about God nor the church any more. You could see from his face that he is troubled and convincing him would just be impossible. He had made up his mind already on the next step he would take, and who would be strong enough to try convince him not to take the path he was about to take?
This kept me thinking for a long time of how many people were once serving God but they eventually saw no use to do so anymore? Or maybe people who are still with us but their thoughts are already polluted by these kind of thoughts?
Probably many of them. I am no pro of how to help them but God has all the tools to help. Jeremiah 29:11 - "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" This is what God said.
If what you are looking for is delaying, fine, but He said His plans are not to harm us but to prosper us. By doubting Him and deciding to go out of His presence, its to call upon yourself harm, something He said He will not do. Staying with God is prospering!
Since He is the author of life, he know of what is good and the time it will be good at. Let us not move away from God but keep believing on His promises because He is faithful.
Stay Blessed!!
