Don’t cast away your confidence

                                                

As humans, we are somewhat constrained to put our life goals within the context of time. The implication of this is that while we work within the context of time, we fail to consider that our God operates in the realm of timelessness. It means that we have deadlines according to time perspective, but really God has no deadlines. He can show up on the scene at whatever time He so pleases and He did still be right on time. When we begin to factor in this fact that God dwells in timelessness, we could be a little more at ease with some goals or expectations that we affix with strict deadlines.

We are already in the twilight of the year, and you may already be feeling uneasy or probably disappointed that God has let you down in some way because some of the things you were expecting and had faith for haven’t yet come to pass. The disappointment could be more, particularly when some of those expectations are heavily time bound, like the expectation to give birth to a child or to get married within the year, which is now looking practically impossible. So the fact remains that there is always that feeling of disappointment that comes with not having your goals or expectations met, most especially when they are time bound. But the scriptures already gave us a word not to cast away our confidence which has a great recompense of reward. (Heb. 9:11)

Don’t let what hasn’t happened for you yet to make you feel like nothing is working in your life, and then to cast away your confidence. Be rest assured that if you are in faith concerning that goal or that expectation, it will come to pass. One thing though is that it may not happen in the exact way that you have figured out, but God will certainly bring it to pass.

For some other people, it may not even be about an expectation that hasn’t yet come to pass, it could be a business gone bad, it could be a bad decision that seem to have set you back or cost so much loss. Well, such nasty experiences are not uncommon, even to notable characters in the bible, but because they did not cast away their confidence in God, they eventually bounced back. I am glad to announce to you that if you also will refuse to give, but hold on strongly to your faith in spite of the set back, you will bounce back big time.

So wherever you are today, whatever may be the situation, don’t cast away your confidence in God and don’t feel disappointed. He is still very much God, He loves you, He wants the best for you, and He will come through for you. He is not bounded by time and so He makes all things beautiful in His time.

Cheer up and don’t give up!
