Time constraints

            Hey everyone! I pray that this post finds you in great health and spirit! We are sealing the month of August with clarity, and peace from the days that are yet behind us. I’m not sure what you may have faced, but you made it. Now you’re about to embark on another month. September is here, and you will get out what you put in. The trajectory of your life isn’t always predicated from the effort you give. Sometimes you may give all you have in order to accomplish what needs to be done. You pray, hope, and declare for victory. There may come a time where that prayer, that hope, and declaration doesn’t come to fruition. This may leave you perplexed especially if it’s pertaining to something that God has spoken over your life. I am here to tell you don’t be dismayed. Stay committed to the purpose that you have in this world. You may be in a state where you have yet to find your purpose. Dedicate more of your time in prayer, and I guarantee you it will be revealed. The one thing we as humans have a difficult time dealing with is time. We wait for the time to be placed in a certain position in life. Time will make you feel like you are behind and place pressure on you to spring ahead. More often than not we put time constraints on our lives because society has made it vital to living a good life. For instance, finishing college in four years, getting married at a certain age, having a baby before the “high risk age”, owning a home, or even opening a business. The one thing that the word of God reassures us is that God operates on a totally different time span than we do. We put the restrictions on ourselves for whatever reason. The reason may be to please someone like parents, to do something before someone else, or just for our own satisfaction. When we look back at some of the events in the Bible, we see that faith and patience coincide to keep our minds from wondering. For example, we find in the new testament the woman with the issue of blood who didn’t get healed for twelve years. This woman sought after God, and believed that this was the time for her breakthrough. We can also take a look at the story of Joseph. A man who was sold into slavery by his brothers, and suffered for a very long time. Who was then elevated to a king. These two people are relatable because life has a way of making us feel like we are down in the pit, and there is no sight of refuge, but then God elevates us! Time constraints has a way of making you feel pressured, unworthy, and incapable. Constraining your life to time hinders you from living your life in abundance. “Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” (James 1:4). “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” (James 1:6). There we see faith and patience in a congruous form. Making us aware to have FAITH & be PATIENT. It may be easier said than done, but when you take off the time constraints the liberation you experience will lead you to patience, and help you keep your faith in the promises of God! We all have encountered days where we felt like we were behind, and things weren’t going as planned. Yes, Habakkuk told us to write the vision, and make it plain, but we must also realize the book never said the vision was going to go as planned. It’s always great to set goals for ourselves, but we need to also know we can still reach that goal without a time constraint. My friends live your life. Don’t let anything hold you down not even societal time constraints. You will graduate! You will get married! You will own a home! You will start a business or businesses! You will make an impact! You will be financially free! You will be liberated! You will be a parent! You will succeed! You will! You will! You will! Whatever you can relate to declare it have FAITH and let PATIENCE have her perfect work! Everything may not go as you planned, but God plans for you to win! You may see some dark days, and experience hard times, but YOU WILL WIN! Let go of those time constraints, and move forward. “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” (1 Peter 5:10). In September set yourself free from time constraints. Continue to consult God and pursue your goals. Your life is of so much value! Don’t hold yourself back for time! Stay up, stay positive, stay great always! Much love!
