A Change Is Going To Come!
Job 14:14
All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Everything has an appointed time to undergo a process.
Baby chicks are appointed a set time before they
hatch. Lilies, tulips, daffodils and other flowers
have to wait the determined time, before they spring
up after a dormant winter. You and I waited in the
wombs of our mothers for the appointed time, before we
could be birthed into this world.
So it is with change. It is defined as - "an event
that occurs when something passes from one state or
phase to another." Friend - your need, your promise,
your request or desire, is existing in a phase or
state already set and appointed by God. Your precious
faith sets the incubation period. It depends on your
works of faith as to exactly how long this phase
takes.
Job's suffering phase passed eventually, as he cried
out to God and waited the appointed time for God to
make his life change. He believed God, and determined
to hold fast to his faith - his integrity - his
righteousness. Faith, without his works of speaking
and waiting in hope, would have died.
So too, God is preparing a change for you - for that
situation in which you're patiently abiding. As you
wait, your circumstance produces endurance and
longsuffering. Judge yourself to see if you are
living in "good-natured tolerance in the time of delay
or incompetence." That good nature is the fruit of
your faith in God.
Your change is coming, and you feel it, especially
when you observe certain character traits passing from
immaturity to maturity. That patience works in you as
you live through the experience, and that experience
works hope in your soul.
God loves you, and He will bring forth that change
because He won't let you be ashamed. Faith will birth
that appointed blessing in the season that God has
appointed - whether it is for you or for a dear loved
one. The change is occurring even as you live and
breathe. Appoint means - " To ordain; to determine;
to arrange. . . To fix with power or firmness; to
establish; to mark out."
The time for your change to materialize has been
divinely ordained. God has determined and arranged
for it to take place. Surely you feel joy welling up
in your Holy Ghost soul, as you envision the Power of
God preparing your long-awaited answer to prayer.
Only He can establish it and bring it to pass, and His
zeal is set to perform this delightful work.
Your change is going to come. Hold on, and keep the
faith. It is just a matter of time! As they say,
"Hang on to your seatbelts - up, up and away!"
The change shall come and will not tarry. According
to your faith, so be it unto thee, even as this Word declares!
