But, 'What If?"

The 'what if's' in life are the stumbling blocks that Satan puts in our path in order to rob us of what God wants us to have. 'What if's' always keep us focused on fear, not faith. 'What if's' continually distract us from our vision. 'What if's' turn us away from wonderful possibilities to dreaded problems, from positives to negatives, and from glorious hope to heartbreaking despair.

Just before the hill is crested and the problem is solved, just before the impossible becomes possible and the harvest is reaped, we are tempted to pause and dwell in the land of 'What If.' The longer we stall the higher the mountain seems, the greater the problem appears, and the longer we must wait for our answer. How many inheritances have been lost by those who lost sight and did not finish strong and hold on to the promise to the end?

I pray that God delivers me daily from the land of 'What If' and that He continues to remind me, when I have done all that I can in obedience, to press on in faith and prayer, standing firm against all attacks of fear and doubt until He fulfills His promise.

How blessed we are to serve a God who delights in giving us the desires of our heart.

"Therefore, I say unto you, whatever things ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:24
