"In due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" Galations 6:9 NKJV
Why dont we see more of Gods promises fulfilled in our lives? Because we overlook the process.
It is in the process of reaching the promise that we become discouraged and quit. Success in any venture lies in holding on, even when others let go. We demand instant gratification and if we do not get it we leave our jobs, our churches, and even our families.
But there's a process we must go through, regardless of our level of faith. There are no shortcuts. We have to pay the full price, because it never goes on sale. Endurance is the price tag of achievement:...."in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" Gal. 6:9
For years William Wilberforce pushed the British Parliament to abolish the slave trade. Discouraged he was about to give up when his elderly friend John Wesley heard of his campaign, and from his deathbed called for pen and paper.
With trembling hand Wesley wrote, "Unless God has raised you up for this very thing you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you? Are all of them stronger than God? O be not weary in well doing! Go on in the name of God and in the power of his might till even American slavery shall vanish away before it"
Wesley died six days later. Wilberforce fought for 42 more years . Three days before his death, slavery was abolished in Britain. Eventuall it was abolished in America too.
Hang in there - what God has in store for you is worth any price you have to pay.
