The Deadly Enemy Called Doubt Can Destroy God's Timing.__________________________________________________"That you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises."Hebrews 6:12 (NAS)__________________________________________________Why would anyone doubt God? Since the beginning of time, Satan has attempted to convince us that God is not going to come through for us. God told us what was going to happen, He just never told us when. In our faithless impatience, we forget that God's timing is right no matter what our opinions, planners, timelines, or calendars dictate. We live in a world run by the economy of evil, but God gave us the power and authority to live above the world's system. He gave us His Word so we can walk by faith, and not by sight.Matthew 11:12 states, "And from the time John the Baptist began preaching and baptizing until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people attack it." The reason we are called to be determined in advancing God's kingdom is because Satan is attempting to steal it away from us. The enemy tries to stop anyone from furthering the kingdom. He constructs roadblocks and then lies to you daily about how God is not going to come through by keeping His own promises. At that point, many lose heart and never receive what God indisputably guaranteed. We must stand strong and continue to press in and believe God, knowing that He is not a man that lies, but a God of His Word. Through faith and patience, we will receive what is promised.Daily ConfessionFather, I thank You that I am full of faith and I am patient. I receive what is promised, for You are not slack concerning Your promise.
