2Co 4:16-18  “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 

Don’t focus as much on where you’re at and the problems it presents.  Let God’s promises shine on your problems, knowing God will meet you where you’re at and take you where He wants you to go. 

Instead focus on the assurance (Heb 11:1) that our willingness to do God’s work, God’s way will never lack God’s promised supplies. “And If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, keep moving forward with the Lord.”

The journey isn’t always easy, but it can be joyful in the promise that Christ has already traveled it (Deut 31:8) and assures us it will be worthwhile when we arrive. But, it requires a faith that renews itself daily, starting afresh not relying as much on what God has done, but rather on what His promise provides for the morrow to those who stay in His will.

If you believe in a sovereign God who’s in control of everything, then it is up to you concerning what you let God control. That decision will determine the sum of your potential in the promises God has for your life.

The continuous effort in our faith – not strength or intelligence – is the key to God’s promises unfolding in our life.
