Often times, we try to do things before we have thought them through. This is not the proper perspective for divine order and progress in God’s life. There is no way to make a cake (or shall I say, an eatable and enjoyable cake) without all the ingredients. If you try baking a cake without all of the precise ingredients, you will not have the consistency.
As achievers and ambitious individuals, more times than necessary, too much effort and energy is spent wanting the approval of someone or something versus God. Perhaps, our perspective can shift drastically if we did not question the powerful truth that God can take little and make much from it. Silence and solitude provide refueling for the soul, which affords divine movements that are careful, considerate, and compassionate. This is what provokes the inward parts to have a conversation, then miracles will suddenly manifest. Being ambitious without control or restraint creates madness, instead of a miracle.
There are seasons in the life of the temple, the church (the inner self), where conditions have to be adjusted and stewarded correctly. Where you are spiritually, will not always align with where you are physically. However, self-perseverance is what will grant balance, alignment, and self-discovery. Growth is uncomfortable, yet necessary for prophetic release.
Psalm 62:5- “For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.”
Sometimes you must bloom exactly where you are planted. Just because God says GO (forward with me), doesn’t means you have to GO immediately (make sudden moves in the natural).
Solomon, King David’s son, when building the temple used materials that allowed it to be built quietly (1 Kings 6:7). Beloved, you don’t have to be noisy when you FULLY accept the Kingdom you are in (your current time and season of life). You must continue to trust God again and again even in the silent struggle, strengthening, or suffering of life. Kingdom mind-sets are always willing and yearning to be silent before the Lord.
Most of the time when God tells you to do something, you may not have all the resources you need. Nevertheless, Kingdom ambassadors, step out in faith and get out of the boat. God has already approved you and you do not need further confirmation. The need for explanation, affirmation or validation; It is FINISHED!
Ask yourself this question and then meditate:
Why do I think I must understand God’s plans when I have never been where he is taking me?
Therefore: take these steps IN ACTION
A. Accept the season you are in.
B. Believe in his word
C. Finish what you started.
Declare this: I believe your word Abba, that to everything there is a season. You know all about it and you allow it and will help me get through it. Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. (Psalm 23). You are with me, and you shall provide me with the strength and empowerment needed to finish the race set before me. In the matchless and marvelous name of Jesus, Amen.
