Why do so many fail to see the results of their faith?
Maybe you believed for healing, and it didn't happen. Or how about a financial miracle that never came?
Jesus promised that if we believe, we will have whatever we ask for. So what's the deal?
The greatest enemy of our faith: time.
We are a short-sighted generation. If the answer doesn't show up immediately, within a few hours, or at the most within a few days, we abort faith and bow to doubt and unbelief.
Abraham waited 25 years for his promised son.
Noah waited 120 years for the promised flood.
Zechariah and Elizabeth waited beyond childbearing years for their son, John the Baptist.
Yet, here we are. If healing doesn't manifest the moment hands are laid on us, we walk out of church full of unbelief.
If the provision doesn't come before our bank account hits zero, we give up on Matthew 6:33.
The work of faith is to continue believing, regardless of how much time goes by.
Faith says, "It may look dead to me, but God doesn't lie. So I continue to only believe."
It's time to mature in faith. Fight the good fight by resisting every doubting thought while you wait with expectation for God to come through.
For we serve an on-time God who loves the impossible.
