HE Will Make A Way

"He will make a way".

This is something that has been popping in my head for almost a month. An affirmation that would come to fruition when I least expected it. I have always been lacking in the patience department and always pray that God will help me be more patient; not just with the general things in life, but also when it comes to God and the prayers I lift up to Him. God definitely works with me to be more patient as He sometimes waits until that eleventh hour to answer my prayer; and of course,  during the hours prior, I get anxious and worried. Though I know better, I worry about whether or not God has heard my prayer; though deep down inside I know He has.

During the waiting process He does remind me of His promises. He reminds me that I need to be quiet and rest in Him; to be still, know and trust that He is God (Psalm 46). He reminds me that, regardless of what I want, He knows what I need and He has a plan for me. He reminds me that I am never alone as He is always with me and will never leave me (Hebrews 13). I have to be patient and trust in Him knowing that His plan will provide a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29). He reminds me that He is God; and unlike a man, does not lie and does not change His mind (Numbers 23). God has always been faithful and true to His word. It's always me that second guesses things because I am human, impatient and tend to rely on my perception of how things should be and how quickly the things that I want to happen need to happen. I forget sometimes that I can't do that; I can't hold on to my way of understanding because, compared to God, I understand nothing. If I want God to bless my life, to show me what He wants and where He wants me to go, I have to acknowledge Him and and trust in His plan so that He will tell me where to go or what to do (Proverbs 3). It's taken me a very long time to have the kind of trust and belief in God and in His promises. But when I made the decision to believe, to trust and to build my faith in Him, He has shown me His love, His mercy, and yes, His provision. 

I have been through a lot in this year of 2019. And it has gone by so very fast. I have kept communication with my heavenly Father and kept seeking the things of God through the teaching of His Son Jesus and and through the power and counsel of the Holy Spirit. I am not perfect and I know that I have disappointed the Father a time or two, but the good thing is that He continues to be with me and that His love is unconditional. As the close of 2019 commences, my awesome God continues to bless me even with my imperfections. A couple that I know, who will remain nameless out of respect for their humbleness, surprised me with a car. I believed that I was meeting up with them about a much needed space for Healthy Concepts, the nonprofit I volunteer at. When I got there, I was handed a title and keys to a car. I thought I was on some kind of hidden camera show because these things I've only seen on tv. But it was real. They wanted to be a blessing to someone who needed a vehicle and they gave it to me. I believe that God answered one of my prayers through them. God uses anyone He chooses to be a blessing to someone and He used them. I so pray that God bless them both tenfold for their obedience to His Holy Spirit. I believe that God is closing this year on a positive note for me, which gives me hope for what's to come in 2020. 

So on this day, December 31, 2019, I praise God for His movement in my life, for blessing me with awesome friends and family, and for His love and His provision. I will continue my life's journey with God in the forefront. I pray for a blessed and prosperous New Year for all who are reading this now. I do pray that, regardless of your faith in God or lack of faith in God, that He bless you and keep you in His mighty hand and under His wing. 

Happy New Year!!!
