Like all Christians down through the years, you must walk by faith and not by sight. Reconciling the many positive promises in My Word against the difficult and often terrible conditions of their lives was part of their test and their testimony. It’s part of their honor. It’s part of the faith life. It’s the same for you.
Picture yourself in a room with endless doors, and I tell you that you have the keys in your hands which will unlock all of them. You try door after door, and while the keys unlock them all, some don’t open because a greater power and force is holding them shut—My will.
The thing to do is to thank Me for what doesn’t work out, and move on to find what will. Trust Me that I will take care of you, and I will prosper you, and I will bring you success—the success I know you need, according to My standards. If you expect that you’ll be able to demand something according to your will, not Mine, you’ll be disappointed.
True success comes through faith—believing. That doesn’t mean everything will work out as you think it should, but it means I will be victorious in the end, and so will you, because we are one.
My plan always bears fruit in the end, and you will always be grateful for the times you have walked by faith and not by sight. The more you trust Me, the more you are empowered to ask and receive. You want the signs first, but it doesn’t work that way. You have to believe and keep believing, and that’s when you see the answers.
