For the last couple of weeks, Ive been wanting some homemade beef stew and cornbread. Today, I decided to go out and get all the ingredients and finally cook what Id be wanting. It took me a long time to finally come around to cooking this for myself because I just didnt feel like doing the work involved. So, everyday, I ended up eating something baked or something I could put together quickly, but today, I decided to do the work to get what I wanted. I had to cut, slice, dice, blend, boil, stir and watch the food to make sure that it didnt overcook. With the cornbread, I had to mix all the ingredients together, oil the pot and place it in the oven. But that didnt end it all....I STILL had to wait for it to get done before I could eat it! Heres the lesson: There are things in life that you want, but you dont have them yet because you dont want to do the work required. So, you keep settling for what you can get for now; all the while, putting off what you really want. But know that everything GOD hands us requires our faith, and our faith needs substance. To get substance in faith, we have to show that we believe what weve asked for by doing the necessary works, for faith without works is dead. After youve done all you were supposed to do, and youve believed GOD, you STILL have to wait for the season of manifestation, and this is where more than 50% of believers fall back into what they know. We want microwave blessings, but somethings require more time than were willing to put in. Needless to say, however, if we dont put in the time, well just have to keep on settling for what we can get...and even though, what we can get can be satisfactory, its still not what we really want. Step out of fear, step out on faith and step into your destiny.
