I'll praise before my breakthrough
I’ll praise before my breakthrough, till my song becomes my triumph, I will sing because I trust You.
2018 has been a difficult year. I think most of us can say that. It’s been seasons of hard work in our lives, disappointments and setbacks. I came into the year with so much hope and that God was going to do big things. I turned thirty, I had hope that God was going to bless me with some of the big things in life. He has been seriously teaching me a lot though. A lot about discernment, and asking God first. The problem is that you always get the answer, but majority of the time it's not what we want to hear. It' also having patience with it, and give it some time to pan out. Because God is always right.
The reality is that God often surprises us. We expect something big and extravagant with our obedience, but really God wants us to be obedient. Not because of what happens at the end, but because of what happens during it. He has been showing me it's okay to be disappointed. To not get your heart involved too soon, but it's okay that things don't workout. Now that I'm self aware of who I am, I know myself better. How I respond, what and who I spend my time with, and how to handle my emotions. When God is molding us, it's not always fun and often times it can be painful. This year has not been what I expected, but necessary.
It's not just with my relationships, but with every area of my life as well. Learning to navigate the waiting. That is where He is working. I had to wait three months till I finally was able to transfer departments at work. But it was at the right time. I was more then ready for the transfer. Now I have all new tasks to worry about and really ask God for what is next in my life now I'm positioned for that.
You will see the fruit of your harvest in the next coming year. God doesn’t waste pain. This is your bamboo season, your season of acceleration. He will bring it to focus. I may have only had small things happen this year, but God is working. I may be still waiting for those big things to happen- a new car, a boyfriend, to move out. It doesn’t mean He doesn’t hear your prayers. I know God is working on the man He has for me, opening doors for a better job, more community, and in my heart. Breakthrough is coming. I can feel it. It's all around us. Things are going to start to happen. Keep trusting in His promises.
Let God continue to work on you and to bring you closer to Him. There are blessings in the waiting.
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord!
