The Bible is full of the promises of God. It’s a love story; the evidence of just how much God loves us. Think about the many times God has delivered you, made a way, healed your body, provided for you—He has manifested His greatness on your behalf time and time again. So, what happens when you’ve prayed to God, but there is a delay in the manifestation of the answer, the promise? Think about the promises that God has made to you. Actually write a few down on paper. (I really do want you to write them down.) I have two questions for you.
- Can you see them, spiritually?
- Have you really claimed them?
We’ve heard many times the account of the children of Israel as God delivered them from the hand of the Egyptians. If not, we’ve at least seen “The Ten Commandments” or the “Prince of Egypt.” God chose Moses to lead His people out of Egypt. And God moved in dramatic fashion on behalf of His people. Can you imagine crossing the Red Sea on dry ground?
But here’s the thing; God wasn’t just taking them from Egypt. He was leading them to Canaan. Sometimes we’re so happy to get out of a situation that we stop before we even reach the purpose of being delivered. God hasn’t delivered you so that you can stop moving forward in your spiritual walk with Him. God promised the Israelites that they would enter the Promised Land, a land of milk and honey. You have a Promised Land too. Think about that for a moment. Your Promised Land is the destiny for which you were created to fulfill. There is a place of manifestation of the promises of God for your life. Can you see it?
