Don’t Let Go of Your Blessing!
Don’t Let Go of Your Blessing!
ByDo you know that your blessing is already laid up in store for you? Many times, I believe God will put us through the test to determine if we’re ready to receive the promises He has in store for us.
The problem comes into play when we give up too soon on the blessing. Many times while waiting, we grow weary, impatient, we complain, we get bitter and we give up on the blessing. Instead of growing weary and letting the enemy steal what God has in store for you, make a decision to put up the good fight of faith.
Even in those times when it seems like nothing is giving, or it seems God has forgotten about His promise, know that in due time you’ll reap a harvest of blessing if you don’t give up.
There will be times when you have to put up a fight. The enemy will come at you in every way he can and cause you to throw in the towel. But don’t let go of your blessing.
I’m reminded of the story of Jacob and how he wrestled with God. The bible reports that Jacob wrestled with a man all night long until the break of dawn. When the man saw that he couldn’t win, he wrenched Jacob’s hip out of socket. The man said, “let me go, for daybreak has come.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go until you bless me.” Then this man, whom the bible likens to God, blessed Jacob. He said, “your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
My friends, just like Jacob, we need to hang on to God even in the dark hours of life. Our declaration should be just like Jacob’s declaration- “Lord, I won’t let you go until you bless me.”
Instead, of giving up and throwing in the towel, make a decision to wrestle with your situation. But be encouraged my friends, the break of dawn is just around the corner, and with it comes your blessing. If you’ll keep fighting the good fight of faith, God will shower down abundant blessings on you as you charge forth on your journey of life!
