Long time since I have blogged but here I go again ;-).
I read this bible verse this week:
„These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.“
Hebrews 11:39-40 NIV
It reminded me about something that had been bothering me for a while.
I thought that because you don’t get something you have to trie harder and harder all the time and if you are not able to get it you are a failure. But that isn’t true!
We need God to help us „get“ things. He doesn’t do all the work but He helps us and gives us strength, wisdom,... (for example: you need to walk yourself, God wil not walk for you but He will give you strength to be able to walk).
But sometimes God doesn’t help us because it is not what He has planned for us. You might want something that isn’t what God wants for you. Then you are trying and trying to get it by your own strength and you won’t be able to get it (or atleast not in the way you wanted it). And often when you don’t get it, you feel like you failed. But that isn’t really true: you just failed because it wasn’t the will of God. You need to trust God, do the things that He askes you to do and trust in His plan. His plan never fails.
It might be that He has promised you something but you haven’t „got“ it yet and you feel like God forgot (you) or that it wasn’t from God. But don’t feel like that because God promises you that His plan is perfect and that when it is the right time for Him, He will give you what He promised!
Have faith in what God has planned for you and the promises He made.
(Read also Hebrews 11:1)
Stay blessed ♡
