Let me tell you a story.
There was a farmer who decided to plant a small little seed in his garden. he watered the soil daily, ensured that it gets the right amount if sunlight and even added fertilizer just to make sure that it will grow well. This farmer does not know what is happening underneath but He waited patiently until the green shoot surfaced from the ground, right on its perfect time.
Just like the farmer, we may be planting seeds of obedience and watering it with patience as we wait for the harvest to come. Because we only see on the surface where nothing is happening- no open doors and answered prayers yet, we tend to give up.
Let us remember that God made everything beautiful in its time(Ecc 3:11). His time table is different compared to ours. In this culture where we want what is fast, God knows that there is wisdom in the unhurried pace. Yet, He sees our faith (regardless if at times it is as small as a mustard seed).
My prayer is that may we keep on trusting Him beyond what we can see. His plans are for long-term and they were made in perfect faithfulness (Isa 25:1).
We must continue to hold firmly to our declaration of faith for the One who made the promise is faithful. (Heb 10:23).
And if we are in doubt if He keeps His promises, the ultimate fulfillment has been with us all along.
His name is Jesus.
