Reflect
Precious one, if you want to get unstuck read your Bible and listen to the Word, a great Bible App is Bible.is. Why is listening to the Bible important? Because faith comes by hearing! (Romans 10:17) Listen to scripture then meditate on it all day. (Joshua 1:7-9) Hide the Word of God in your heart. (Psalms 119:11) Then when you are under attack you can declare the Word of God. Speaking the Word of God and standing in faith will turn your situation around. Faith changes facts! Be still and listen to the Holy Spirit. (Exodus 14:14) He is your daily bread and living water! (Matthew 6:11, John 7:38)
Reflect on Biblical examples. God’s purposes are not “stuck,” and He has a plan and a purpose for you before the foundations of the earth and He will fulfill it. There are times in our lives it doesn’t look possible because we are stuck in our situation. Joseph was in prison for thirteen long years, and I am sure there were times he felt stuck holding on to his dream. However, God’s timing is perfect! At just the right time Joseph was promoted from prison to second in command in the nation of Egypt. Then he fed and provided for his family during the time of famine, including his brothers who sold him into slavery. Genesis 41-45)
The Jewish people were waiting on the promise of the Messiah that would deliver them. We know that these promises were fulfilled when Jesus was born of a virgin in a manger. He came to save both Jews and Gentiles alike and deliver us from the power of sin and death. If you have read the back of the book (the Bible) you know the outcome. One day very soon Jesus will return for His bride. The dead in Christ shall rise first then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the cloud to meet the King of Kings. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
