IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DESTINATION, THE DESTINATION DETERMINES THE PATH Sometimes, we find ourselves asking: Why do some things take so long? Why is this particular area of my life taking longer than I expected? Am I really on the right path? For one person, it may be finding purpose and fulfilling their calling. For another, building a career, achieving financial stability, owning a home, experiencing healing, or seeing a long held dream come to pass. For someone else, it may be marriage, the blessing of children, or a desire for a peaceful and fulfilling family life. Whatever the challenge, prolonged waiting can make us question the path we are on. But I am learning that delay is not necessarily evidence that I am on the wrong path, just as speed is not evidence that I am on the right path. There are earthly destinations we hope to reach, but there is also an ultimate destination; to walk faithfully with God and ultimately be with Him. And if that is my ultimate destination, then the destination determines the path. I don't measure the correctness of my path by the speed of my progress. I measure it by whether I am walking in alignment with God. If I am on the right path, I don't need to panic because the journey is taking longer than I expected. The vision has an appointed time. My responsibility is to remain faithful on the path until God's appointed time arrives. I would rather arrive late at the right destination than arrive early at the wrong one. Because my greatest concern is not how quickly I arrive, but whether I remain on the path that leads me to where God wants me to be. In the end, I don't just want to arrive. I want to arrive faithfully.🤷🏽‍♂️ #TrustingGod #GodsTiming #DivineTiming #FaithInGod #FaithJourney #GodsPlan #PurposeAndCalling #TrustTheProcess #WaitOnGod #GodIsWorking #KeepTheFaith #StayTheCourse #ChristianReflection #FaithOverFear #GodsPromises #SpiritualGrowth #WalkWithGod #RemainFaithful #DontGiveUp

There are days when I honestly don't know what tomorrow will bring. I've been unemployed for almost three years now, and lately it feels like I'm just trying to make ends meet. There have been moments when I've wanted to give up, moments when the weight of uncertainty has been overwhelming. I've asked God countless times, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" Yet, even in the silence and the waiting, I choose to believe that God is still working behind the scenes. His timing is different from mine, but His plans are always good. So today, I'm swallowing my pride and sharing this with faith. If anyone knows of any remote job opportunities in administration, virtual assistance, data entry, social media management, or education, I would be deeply grateful if you could let me know. Your prayers mean just as much. I'm holding on to the promise that this season is not the end of my story. I may not understand the path right now, but I choose to trust the One who does. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9 #Hopeful #TrustingGod #FaithOverFear #WaitingOnTheLord #GodWillProvide #JobSearch #PrayerChangesThings #NeverGiveUp #BlessedToBeABlessing

"Don't Say 'I Don't Want to Fail' — Say This Instead." I want to be honest with you today. I have tried many things over the years and failed at them — painfully. These were the kind of failures that left scars on you... But miraculously I kept getting up. So when God laid a specific assignment in my heart to work with teenagers, and I stepped into it — I discovered that some times when I went out to pray in general or the thought of the assignment crossed my heart I would find myself saying... "Lord, please don't let me fail." I prayed... It was a very specific prayer bore out of my past failures. Because I was afraid to fail.. You see my thoughts were, if he wanted me on this deal he should help me not to fail because I was tired of failing and I was concerned about what people would say if I failed. But every time I prayed it, something inside me rebuked me saying... "That is the spirit of King Saul." And I'll stop in my track because I knew who Saul was and at that moment I would try to rephrase or skip the prayer. Though deep down inside of me I don't want to fail... Then this morning, while walking to work, the prayer surfaced again automatically: "Lord, I don't want to fail..." And this time instead of a rebuke, I heard something gentle and clear replace it: "Don't say you don't want to fail. Say — Lord, help me to rise every time I fail. Lord help me not to be scared of failing. "Lord help me to know how to succeed from failing." Because without failing you won't know how to succeed and it's when you stay in failure you have actually failed. You see.. King Saul's problem was never that he failed. It was because he was ashamed to be called a failure...and was more concerned about what people would say about him when he fails. He was too big to accept to fail. So instead of learning from his failures like David did and see the reasons why he failed in order to make corrections he chose to act differently. Micah wrote in Micah 7:8 saying though I fall, I will rise.. Which invariably I can say to you though you fall you shall rise.. You see God wasn't rebuking my desire to succeed in His purpose. He was correcting my heart posture. He knows that, "don't let me fail" gives me no room to follow his process and trust him completely. And it places me in a position of fear... However, "help me rise when I fail" states that I should trust God through the process. So if you or your— Teenager is afraid to try again after being hurt. And you have been asking God to help you not to fail... Then I think it's high time you change your prayer and ask him to help you to rise every time you fall. #movingmountainfaith #faith #fear #trustingGod
