Pregnant With Dreams
When we first found out that we were pregnant, we were so excited. Even though she didn’t look any different on the outside, we began planning and preparing for our new baby. Then as time went on, we moved out of the fun, easy stage of conception and into that much more difficult stage of development. That’s when she became uncomfortable, swollen, couldn’t sleep at night, and her back ached. Things got hardest right before the birthing began.
It’s the same way in our spiritual lives. When we conceive something in our hearts from God, it’s so exciting. It’s easy to stay encouraged and full of faith during that time. But the real test is when we go through the development process. Are we willing to keep a good attitude even when we’re uncomfortable, and things aren’t going our way? Are we willing to stand and fight the good fight of faith until we give birth to our God-given dream?
Today, if you’re standing for something, keep standing. Keep believing, even when you don’t see anything happening. Hold on to that promise even when it’s uncomfortable, because soon you will give birth to every dream and desire the Lord has placed in your heart! Hallelujah!
“A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.” (John 16:21, NIV)
Pray With Me
Yahweh, thank You for the dreams and desires You’ve planted in my heart. Father, give me the strength to persevere even when times are hard. God, give me Your peace and joy, so that I can stand strong despite the birth pains, until I birth those dreams and desires You have conceived in me, in Jesus’ name! Amen.
