PROCESS OF TIME

Timing is a PROCESS...........

Why is it taking so long? Is God there, does He even care or is He fair? Why is God inactive? Why doesn't he do something?

Trusting God is easy when life is going smoothly but difficult when crisis, pressure of life attacks.

We may have one time or the other declared the certainties of God's love and mercy. Then we find ourselves at a point doubting God.

So many things happens during the  process of timing;

1) In the process you'll be tempted to become angry and bitter at God.
2) In the process you'll be tempted to become envious, jealous and compare yourself with others.
3) In the process it seems like your the only one suffering While everyone is enjoying.
4) In the process you become sad, pained and bittered.
5) In the process you pray so much and it's like He's with you but refuses to hear you

So many things happens in the process of timing but you must note that; "feelings come and feelings leave you, but the discipline of the Word is what get you to where you want to go" Because if you faint in the days of adversity, just know that your strength is small.

Like Prophet Habakkuk in the Bible....... He was in a fix, He had doubts, he was deeply worried about the threatening international situation, Judah's spiritual decline and his own faltering faith...... In the process he resulted to questioning God.

Do you know that God replied?  When ever you call He always replies. Even when you feel He's silent. We must note that God's reply reminds us that His ways are not our ways.

Prophet Habakkuk is an Excellent example, we should learn from him..... Because despite the pressures of life, he was confused and distressed, but in his doubt he settled down to wait.... Instead his doubt drove him to seek an answer from the Lord.

Are you currently in distress, pain, crisis, and where you are is driving you away from seeking an answer from the Lord.. You feel God doesn't care, it's not worth it praying and no response. You need to have a change of mind and go back to seek answers from Him alone.

For prophet Habakkuk doubt was turned to faith. He accepted the approaching disaster, believing God was in control and j

ustice would prevail at the end. He found a spirit of faith and joy born out of a deep traumatic experience.

He composed the hymn of Faith which we find in Habakkuk 3:17-19. It's one of the most beautiful psalms in the Bible....... It was composed under great emotional pressure.

"Though the fig tree does not blossom And there is no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive fails And the fields produce no food, Though the flock is cut off from the fold And there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the Lord ; I will [choose to] shout in exultation in the [victorious] God of my salvation! The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet And makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and. responsibility".

Yes.......... You can know Joy in the midst of desolation. Yea........ Jump for joy in the Lord, spin around for delight in God.

Hold on...... Keep your faith alive (loving and serving God regardless of the circumstances) like Habakkuk we must learn that fear would turn to faith when we depend on a dependable God. Because this Faith in turn, brings unspeakable joy.

Habakkuk pictured himself with deer's feet, picking his way through the cracks of trouble, surefooted because he was "Sure-Faithed"

Whatsoever crisis, pain, pressure, adversity your in remember to;  "Have the Image of Victory and Triumph"
