Faith in God's Word always
works. There's no question about
that. But have you ever noticed it
seems to work more quickly for
some people than for others?
I have. In fact, I've experienced
it both ways in my own life. There
was a time years ago, when Ken and I had
just begun living by faith that we would dig
into the Word, believe God for something,
then wait...and wait...and wait...for the
manifestation. The process seemed so
slow. Often we could have gotten what we
wanted much faster by natural means. But
we'd keep confessing and acting on the
Word anyway because we knew that faith
pleased God (Hebrews 11:6).
If we were steadfast, the answer
always came eventually. It had to
because the Scripture says, "Be
not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap…. And let us not be
weary in well doing: for in due season we
shall reap, if we faint not" (Galatians 6:7, 9).
When you sow the Word by faith, you'll
always get a harvest. But I'll confess to you,
there were times when Ken and I got weary
in well doing because our "due season" took
so long to arrive!
Since then, praise God, we've learned a
few things. We've discovered that although,
by Gloria Copeland
"It will clear the weeds
from the ground of your heart.
It will cause the soil of your life to
BE RICH AND PURE AND PRODUCTIVE.
So when you sow to the spirit, you'll
reap your harvest much faster."
