Settling For Less Than You Deserve.

Settling For Less Than You're Promised 


Isaiah 43:19 "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."


Be strong enough to let go of what's been hindering you and wise enough to wait for what you've been promised by God.  Sometimes He allows you get knocked down lower than you have ever been to allow you to stand up taller than you ever were before.  Sometimes your eyes need to be washed by your tears so you can see the possibilities in front of you with a clearer vision again. 


-Do you feel like you're in the wilderness?


-Is that wilderness dry and parched like the desert?


Raise your level of expectation and stand on the promises of God. If He said it He will do it, if He promised it He'll bring it to pass. You can count on Him to spring forth a new thing within your life if you refuse to settle for anything less than what He promised!


Don’t settle for something mediocre, but believe for the best things that God has in store for you. It may not happen as soon as you expect it, but it will happen according to His Word regardless of your location or proximity. The floods of blessing are going to come-just wait and see!
