I have had an item on the website Kijiji for almost a month now. I wanted to sell it, and this is a website that can assist with this, so I posted it.
I posted it and waited. I hoped that my phone would ring off the hook from people who wanted that I was selling. Nothing.
I removed the item that I wanted to sell, and reposted it with a lower price. “This would do it" I told myself.
Still nothing.
Over the last week, I had thoughts of removing this item, thinking this was a lost cause, but I didn’t, and over the last 2 days, I had 3 people looking for this one item!
I'm glad that I left it posted, because I sold it this morning.
Often times, our spiritual life can be like this too. We ask God for something and all we get is a "wait". Or we are going through a temptation, and we want to give up (or give in, whatever the case may be)
God doesn’t want us to give up or give in. most times; victory comes as we wait a little longer. I have experienced this to be true, and I believe that if you wait on God, He will give you what you need, strength.
The Bible says: "Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. 31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint." (Is. 40:28-31, NLT2)
God may be asking you to wait a little longer. If you do, you will be rewarded.
