Perfect

Ecclesiastes 3:10-11 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11 He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end. (KJV)
 
Travail is a result of being a bit out of tune, not in the place you need to be, or not in the time frame our Lord intended for it to be carried out in. You may have heard the Lord make a promise to you, or you have prayed about something, now it is a matter of waiting for it to manifest, even though you may think God didn’t hear you or is ignoring you.
 
Isaiah 25:8-9 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. 9 And it shall be said in that day, lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. (KJV)
 
Sometimes salvation is a waiting process, where you are wait on the Lord before moving forward. The world we live in today is just the opposite, where we go through the drive through section and get what we want right away which is usually not too healthy. You should not be chasing anything in this life, but should be waiting on the Lord and allowing His blessings to catch up and overtake you. Sometimes the reason you don’t see the answer manifest is because you are running a bit ahead of the Lord and His perfect timeline.
 
Isaiah 40:29-31 He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (KJV)
 
Many today fall short of where God would have them to be in His body of believers, because rather than wait for Him they take off running in the opposite direction. Have you ever encountered a project that required some prep work, measuring ahead of time before doing the building? You know where you got a bit impatient and wanted to see results, only to find out that you have to start all over again because of your lack of patience. The more you got ahead of the project the more frustrating it is because you could have saved yourself a lot of time and energy by doing it right the first time.
 
Isaiah 26:3-4 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusted in thee. 4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: (KJV)
 
Faith and patience is what accompanies perfection, and is a course that you want to stay on so that you can be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.
 
Romans 8:24-25 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. (KJV)
 
Just a reminder Church, you won’t find your answer in the outward realm anymore, rather your faith now needs to be in that which is unseen.
 
Hebrews 11:1-2 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. (KJV)
 
Substance is a spiritual concrete that will hold the building up and keep it from being blown over so easily with contrary winds of doctrine. The evidence of your faith will be found in the realm of the Spirit and not the flesh.
 
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: (KJV)
 
Isn’t it time for you to experience this perfect peace for yourself? After all that is why God sent His Son.
 
God bless dearly loved and have a prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord.
