3 Ways to Increase Your Faith When You Want to Give Up
I remember weeping this time last summer when God dropped a promise in my heart. He used scripture, people and random circumstances to speak the promise, then would send reminders for weeks through scripture, people and random circumstances yet again.
A year later... the promise hasn't been fulfilled. If I'm honest... I've been questioning if I even heard Him right.
It's tough.
It's lonely.
It's embarrassing... because I told others about the miracle God was going to perform in my life.
A couple weeks ago, I received what you might call a "down payment" on the promise. A step in the right direction, perhaps?
Rather than be filled with faith that his promise will come to pass, I've been feeling waves of disappointment that I'm still in waiting...
But this is the moment that I choose to lean in. He's always been faithful... why would He change course now? So I've decided that I will trust His character rather than my circumstances. In doing so, I'll hold on to His promise... I know His voice. I heard Him right. So in this season of waiting, I'll find scriptures that will increase my faith and silence the attacks of doubt.
God will get the glory... I will have a testimony. I will wait on Him.
