Though it tarry, it will not tarry

I had to separate these posts so as not to loose the shout out I wanted to make.
Once again it’s a time when God has shown outright that He’s in control all the time. By the way I’m in Zimbabwe :) Recently we had a landmark agreement made politically and it’s meant to be the dawning of new era. I’m sure I’m not the only one holding my breath so that I know when I let it out it’s truly a sigh of relief .I am non-partisan but I really know this has God’s hand in it- especially the timing. It’s come at a time when people had just about given up hope. We were at a point where most people were now involved in shady deals just to get thru the day and not many cared to help. Help or whatever form of assistance had a price tag attached if you even got to that stage.
There’s a lot of promise- and one member to the agreement even committed the deal to God’s hands. For me it’s not so much if he meant it but just the remembrance and the hope it can rekindle in someone who’s listening means a lot to me and know it even can be the starting point for a conversation with God for someone who’d ditched such a relationship.
Breakthroughs happen every day. I had one yesterday and at work there’s been one as well. It’s not the best deal there can be, but at least it’s something almost decent. Yeah, that sort of stuff where diction just cannot help you say yes coz you just cannot.
Thanks be to the Lord for when His people look for him in earnest, He will answer.
“though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”

I love this quote from Psalms, “For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.” 32v6.

For someone looking from outside they felt for us. They were sure this was just the ultimate trial and they just did not understand how we could still get thru the day. Many still call us docile becoz we did not go on the streets and make nois
My friends, the battle has just begun coz we have just dislodged one of the enemy’s stronghold on our population. Many were at the end of their rope and about to give up but…….halleluiah!!!!!! We smile once again as a nation;))e for change. (have you not heard………blessed are the meek?)

The few who chose to quietly go down on their knees and make petitions for the country are today giving thanks for surely we all would have perished were it not that His ear hears the voice of each of His children. Maybe someone will say I’m of that view becoz I had food on my table everyday. That may have been so but I still came across those in position less than me and I had to help. That’s how I know the point we were now at. That’s how I know what we were praying for. That’s how I know the kind of petitions the Lord had coming His way on a daily basis from my fellow Zimbabweans. I smile becoz we did not get to the point where someone would know that we were not seeking God’s help. The storm from outside seemed like it was so strong there was no way we could commune with Him with such challenges daily. But His grace is so much that we still knelt in prayer and petitioned Him for relief. This month something’s indeed afoot in the heavenlies. The battle still rages on a daily basis, but September 2008 is different for Zimbabwe. Maybe our timing was such that we’d focus on prayer this month and then see the fruit afterwards.
But God has His timing. A few of His children could not wait until then, a select few had petitioned and their fruits are now being seen by all. My prayer right now is that we do not go back on our plan to continually seek Him as a nation as relief is now on the horizon.

We smile once again as a nation;))
