You may just be right if you described now as representing today, present and then, as future/tomorrow but what is striking about these 2 time frames is that like a valley in between 2 hills it is described as useless, low, down times etc. it is also said to be expectation time in church parlance but it is so amazing how people waste this valuable place called “valley”.
Over and over again I have tried to find out what the man sitting beside the pool for 38 years had as a daily schedule. But really, I have found no account of his daily dealings aside the fact that he only waited for the water in the pool to be stirred but never got the chance to jump into the pool and claim a healing. Hmmm….! 38 years of a life doing nothing but waiting!
You see, there isn’t any hard and fast rule neither is there an automatic reward system promised anywhere in the school of belief or faith. You can’t always get what you want as soon as you want it. If fact, whenever you get things on the automatic, it is no longer God but magic. You must have to labour in Faith before getting the desired from God. God’s promises are true and forever sure, so you must wait. But think of this, between the current situation when trouble looms so hard and the eventual miracle is the waiting time. How long this time could be, we don’t know!
Time is one very valuable part of life. Every man will account for the time allocated
to him some day. God will never forgive anyone that can not account for the time wasted. While waiting for the miracle, it is important that you are doing something. Perhaps, learn a trade, go to school, learn a new skill, contribute to development or nation building.
You may be believing God for a spouse, what have you invested in this period of singleness? How many new dishes have you learnt to cook, how much do you know about home management? Are you industrious or a career person? How do you intend to contribute to your plan for a beautiful home? A course on line wouldn’t be a bad idea. Amazingly, some of them are free!
Perhaps, a healing is what you want. What skills have you got now that can help you attract someone your way? Don’t you think the more you are at it, God could send a healing your way? You may just be busy doing this now and God says, its the set time to favour Zion!. Note that when a man is diligent in what he does, he shall stand before kings and those that matter in society.
Every knowledge eventually gets useful. You may be learning those skills for your tomorrow. God may just need you as a general to salvage a nation with that skill you learnt in the days of your wilderness. Will you be found wanting?
Ponder on these words……
