Monday ~ March 23 ~ GOD'S DELAYS ARE NOT GOD'S DENIALS

Monday ~ March 23


Well my bag is packed and we're in the countdown stage now. . . . today is the day that I meditate on all the things God has put in my heart over the last 2 months.... as I prepare for surgery day tomorrow. 


The Believer's prayers have truly been my source of calm through it all.... when many times I could have been afraid or anxious.... Prayer held me up. I have actually "felt" the prayer covering over me. It comforted me... protected me... it help to guide me... and it lead Nurses and Doctor's and Tech's to show favor over me....it's been amazing. 


I have wondered a few times why God has allowed the amount of time that has passed before actually getting to the surgery.  It's been 2 months since learning, through the Biopsy. that I have Uterine cancer. And though we haven't stopped at all at the process of getting to this point...it just seems people I've known that find out they have cancer ...right away the surgery is done.... I don't know why now... but I sense in my Spirit that there is a reason for the 2 months. I know for sure my faith has been encouraged...and my trust level in God has been raised to a place I've never seen Him before.... there is still something important I don't fully understand about it all. But I believe I will.


I know God uses His delays to teach us to trust Him more fully and to submit more thoroughly to His Lordship over our lives and it's getting our will in alignment with His will.
He often has to delay His work in us in order to accomplish something for His purposes that can be achieved only in the delay.


I've learned through the years that God's delays usually fall in these categories... 
 to prepare us. . . .to test us . . . and to train us. No doubt He's been at work this whole time...with both Harold and I. Harold has had to leave his comfort zone as well. God had to make us "uncomfortable" so that we would find our comfort in Him. 


God, by Your Spirit and Your Word, guide me a step at a time on Your path. I know You are not in a hurry and neither should I be. You are building my faith as well as putting together the end result.
