May you never become so desperate that you cannot wait for God's best.

A Message from Anointed Messenger
I'd like to share this message which originally appeared November 17, 2008. I pray that you will be overtaken by the blessings God has for you - not desperation. ----------- God keeps showing me instances of people who became so  desperate and impatient that they missed out on God's best plan for them. My friend's little children saw the tiny bags of Anointed Messages I made and immediately wanted one. I already planned to give them each a bag of their own, but they were not ready yet. The children were crying and begging for bags and I tried to explain that these bags were for adults. I make Anointed Messages just for children, in plain simple words on brightly colored paper. I was working on the messages but the children were constantly begging me for the ones they saw. I didn't give them the adult messages knowing they couldn't read them but eventually I gave them incomplete messages. Their bags didn't have the messages from God in red writing on gold translucent paper. I knew their patience wouldn't last long enough for me to make them. In another instance I was showing a friend pictures on my laptop. She asked me to give her the SD card so she could print the pictures. I tried to get her to wait. The SD card didn't have even half of the pictures I knew she'd want. I also knew she couldn't afford to print them right now. If she could just wait she'd get all the pictures plus I'll be able to print the best ones on my color laser printer (coming soon). I recently read about the Transjordan Tribes in Numbers chapter 32. The Reubenites and Gadites saw land they wanted outside the Promised Land. They said please give us this land, we'll forego our inheritance; just don't make us cross the Jordan River. They ended up still having to fight even though they gave up their inheritance in the Promised Land. Beloved of God, are you tired of waiting? Do you see something in front of you right now that seems good enough? Do you believe that God has promised you something wonderful and you're no longer willing to wait for it? I pray that you will not give up too soon. Realize that God's very best takes longer to deliver. God is working on your promise right now; it would be a shame if you don't receive the finished work, custom designed just for you. May you have the patience to wait for it, and strength to cross that final river. |

Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.
Luke 13:30 NIV
29 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. 30 He said to Jacob, "Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I'm famished!" (That is why he was also called Edom.[f]) 31 Jacob replied, "First sell me your birthright." 32 "Look, I am about to die," Esau said. "What good is the birthright to me?" 33 But Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left.
So Esau despised his birthright.
Genesis 25:29-34 NIV
