After a seed is planted, the heat, moisture and pressure of the ground finally cause the outer hull to crack open. Then roots shoot down, digging their way through the ground. It takes time for this to happen, and it takes place underground.
Above the ground, you can't tell anything is happening. That's the way our lives are. After we plant seeds of obedience, we feel like nothing is happening, but all kinds of things are happening inside where we can't see. And like the seed that finally bursts through the ground with a beautiful green shoot, our seeds of obedience finally break forth into a beautiful manifestation of God in our lives. When harvest time comes, the desires of your heart begin to manifest—bondages fall off of you and you see your dreams come to pass.
You see your kids changing and your family getting saved. Prosperity, favor, promotion, honor, and all kinds of good things come out in the open where they can be seen. In harvest time, more than ever before, you hear from God, you enjoy His presence, and you're led by the Spirit.
Blessings begin to chase you down the street, and joy and calm delight become your normal mood. Are you tired of waiting for harvest time in your life? Are you frustrated, crying out, "When, God, when? He doesn't do things on our timetable. Yet His Word promises that He will not be late, not one single day. But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass.
Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! Habakkuk God causes things to happen at exactly the right time! Your job is not to figure out when, but to make up your mind that you won't give up until you cross the finish line and are living in the radical, outrageous blessings of God!
The more you trust Jesus and keep your eyes focused on Him, the more life you'll have. Trusting God brings life. Believing brings rest. So stop trying to figure everything out, and let God be God in your life.
Studying the Bible can seem like an intimidating endeavor. God has more for us than just going to church. Learn why spending time in His Word will produce amazing results in your life. The enemy wants to use fear to keep us from the great things God has for our lives. Learn how God can lead you through this battle victoriously.

Could it be that God is calling us to a level of trust so deep that we literally have to stop doing anything in our own strength and just wait for him, to simply be still and know that He is God? Here are three truths to bring us comfort while we wait for His promises to us:. They had no idea how to live in freedom. In the wilderness, God taught them to wholeheartedly trust Him for everything they would need, as this was how they were to live from then on.
An eight-day journey took the Israelites 40 years because they had some lessons to learn before they could enter into their promised land. Sometimes God keeps us in a season of waiting to prepare us for what is around the corner.
If we step into it too early we may ruin the opportunity He has prepared for us. When David was anointed as the next King of Israel, his rule did not start straight away. In fact, he became a servant to King Saul. This was the perfect place to learn about being a King, serving underneath the King himself.
We may not even be aware of all that God is trying to teach us in our season of waiting but we can be assured that we will come out of it having learned important lessons for the next season we step into. God told Abraham and Sarah that He would give them a child. I think Abraham and Sarah thought they had a big part to play in that miracle, but really all God needed them to do was trust Him. God will do impossible things for us when we choose to believe in him. Today I know with surety that there is nothing impossible with God.
He is faithful and will deliver you on time. As a sister in the Lord, I encourage you as well. As you are waiting for His promise to you to be fulfilled, let Him be glorified through you. As you are continue to trust in His perfect timing, though it tarry, wait for it. It will surely come to pass. It will not tarry. God has made it possible for you to know Him and experience an amazing change in your own life. Discover how you can find peace with God. You can also send us your prayer requests.
