0705 真信心懂得等候
當你看到自己的局限時，就看不到我的應許。那時，你會任由對失敗的恐懼束縛你，攔阻你與我一同邁步向前。現在是時候把你的心與我的心緊緊相連，並以我的話語為力量勇往直前。那些意圖毀滅你的烈焰，將被你信心的盾牌熄滅；那些企圖削弱你的控告之聲，將被我的低語微聲細語所平息。信心是必勝的盾牌。
真正的信心從不急躁，它懂得等候。它完全信靠我和我的智慧。許多人信靠我的能力，卻很少有人願意等候，並信靠我的智慧。我有一個超越你理解的時間和計劃，每一個延遲都有它的原因。信靠我的能力和智慧，你就永不會跌倒，也不會失望。要耐心等候，深信我掌管一切，你的品格必能得到磨鍊。我的回應永遠不會太遲，所以不要擔心會錯過神為你命定的機會。有我與你同在，你怎會失敗呢？
務必要帶着堅定的信心祈求，毫不懷疑你自己一定會得到回應。因為一個猶豫不決的人，這一分鐘相信，下一分鐘又懷疑。優柔寡斷會讓你如同海中的狂風巨浪，翻騰起伏，搖擺不定；一會兒高高在上，一會兒跌落谷底。——雅各書 1:6
0705 True faith knows how to wait.
When you see your limitations, you are blinded to my promises. It is then that you allow the fear of failure to cripple you and prevent you from moving out with me. It is time to fasten your heart to mine and move forward with my Word as your strength. Flames meant to destroy you are quenched by your shield of faith. Voices of accusation attempting to weaken you are silenced by my whisper. Faith is a shield of certain victory.
True faith is never in a hurry. It knows how to wait. It trusts wholly in me and in my wisdom. Many trust in my power, but few wait to trust in my wisdom. I have a time and a plan that is beyond you, a reason for every delay. Trust in my power and in my wisdom, and you will never stumble or be disappointed. Wait patiently, fully convinced that I am in control, and your character will be refined. My answers never come too late, so don’t worry about missing your God-ordained opportunities. How can you ever fail when I am with you?
Make sure you ask empowered by confident faith without doubting that you will receive. For the ambivalent person believes one minute and doubts the next. Being undecided makes you become like the rough seas driven and tossed by the wind. You’re up one minute and tossed down the next. –JAMES 1:6
