When God Says Something, Believe It!

Scripture:

Ezekiel 12:22-23 "Son of Man, You've heard the proverb they quote in Israel: 'Time passes, and prophecies come to nothing.' Tell the people, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will put an end to this proverb, and you will soon stop quoting it.' Now give them this new proverb to replace the old one: 'The time has come for every prophecy to be fulfilled!'"

Observation:

Throughout the Old Testament we continually read how angry God gets when He is not taken seriously. When God speaks, something is going to happen. Because God is eternal, time is unlimited with Him. His timing is not always our timing. When He says it, it will happen, just maybe not when we think it should. In this passage, the people were saying how the prophecies were not coming to pass and even made up a saying about it. God finally steps on and say, here is a new saying for you: "The time has come for every prophecy to be fulfilled".

Application:

Never give up on God! Whenever you think the word he gave you will never happen, hold on a little longer, your breakthrough is coming. If He said it, it will happen. Don't give up on your prophetic word. In God's timing, it will come!

Prayer:

Lord, teach us to remain faithful when things are not going the way we want them to and we are not seeing Your word fulfilled in our timing. Teach us to walk humbly before You and trust You fully and completely. I need You and have been struggling with not seeing the results I know You told me would come. Teach me to wait.
