" Because you are special* to me, and I love you, I gladly give up other peoples in exchange for you; They are trivial by comparison to your weighty significance. " _Isaiah 43:4* (The Voice)

{ DevoRepost: Press Toward The Promise - J. Osteen }

“...imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”
_Hebrews 6:12 (ESV)

-----

Understand that the enemy always fights the hardest when he knows you are closest to your breakthrough. He’d leave you alone if he thought you were going to live in mediocrity. 

If you keep pressing on toward your promise, through faith and patience, you will get there. 

Don’t be like the Israelites in the Old Testament who were right next to their promised land when they talked themselves out of it. They said, “There are giants in the land. It’s too difficult.” 

No, don’t look at the obstacles in your life today. Lift up your eyes because you serve Almighty God. Follow the example of Abraham who believed God even when his circumstances looked impossible. 

Remember, God rewards the people who seek after Him. Stand in faith and keep believing because this year, things are shifting in your favor. 

As you press toward the promise, you will see God’s hand of favor and blessing, and you’ll live in the victory He has prepared for you!

_J&V., Osteen

a pick me up for an overwhelming month and next to come. even in situations where you have flagged out, yet it is still not getting anywhere, the choice of choosing the opposite of what you may feel or to be injustice by is liberating. something that one does not attempt all the time, but yet... i'm still standing still amongst the waters, no matter how loud it sounds or chaotic it looks, faith and patience is not only an inheritance of a promise, but a God like character (stable and unshakable).
