The wish I've come to discover about God's promises is that they never flow with their surroundings (truth be told before I did not see anything beautiful about it).
He can promise provision just to guide you into a season of scarcity.
He can guarantee you that things will work out between you and the one you love, but you feel like you're losing them on the inside.Situations like this are difficult because you must contend with doubt, uncertainty, and, most importantly, yourself. It is during times like this that God uses His wonderful timing to reveal your actual character.
He lets all hell break loose to the point where you feel like you're at your wit's end and at your lowest point. At this point, you become exhausted, upset, and furious, and you walk away or yell instead of praying quietly in low tones like you used to. Take a look around at the situation and say, "You know what? It's never that serious...I'm done."
So you take a few steps in your walking away, then come back and tell God, “fine Lord, let us reason together.” He holds you and tells you to be a little patient because it is not just about you, He is working everything out, the blessing He promised is not just yours, it is for your family as well, and up to four generations after you. He needs to prepare you too to handle the blessing, otherwise when it comes too soon before it’s time, you will mess it up.
In due time, it will come to pass, but in the mean time, shake off the depression, and hopelessness and praise Him like you have received it already because it is ready. You just have to keep walking to get to where it is.
