YES & AMEN.

"For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding "YES!" And through Christ, our "Amen" ascends to God for His Glory." - 1 Corinthians 1:20

Not sure if you ever felt stuck in one season of life but for me I have gone through many seasons feeling this way. Some may call it a "dry" season of life or the "desert" season. Meaning nothing is really producing, there's no freshness, its motionless and life is really not to its fullest.

This season of life is uncomfortable, we get restless and we get anxious to see something, to know something, to hear something and out of desperation we create a mirage. A mirage is something that appears real or possible but it's not. Most mirage's are caused by atmospheric conditions creating optical illusions, usually a mirage appears in a desert when the heat and conditions are at its extreme.

You see at times when the heat of our season gets intense, when we are right in the middle of our dry moments, in the middle of uncomfort, right in the middle of "this is not me" situations, we start to move on God's behalf. We tend to create a plan of action to get us out of what we're in. We create something that is possible and at times can be real but not God's will or plan for our lives. We tend to go back to our normal lives, our sin, our addictions and our habits.

No one likes to be in a place that brings challenge. It's uncomfortable and not easy. It's easier to do things we know and can see.

 I know that for me, I can make things happen when things are not happening. I will find a way to make it happen and do it. Especially when nothing is moving, dry and It's motionless. However I have learned to stop and TRUST Him. To stand on His promises of Yes and Amen. To not force the hand of God and to rest knowing that His promises for my life will be fulfilled. It's in these moments and seasons that I begin to grow in my faith.

So, if you are in that season, be encouraged and keep 1 Corinthians 1:20 close to your heart. Be still and listen closely. Believe me when I say that He will never fail and He will never fail you. He says YES!

A friend of mine gave me a link to His church's website page that list a bunch of biblical promises. Practice speaking them over your life! http://thechapel.cc/general/promises
