God Bless My Brand

A Prayer for the Precursor to the Promise

Cherise McAdoo Season 5 Episode 10

Too many times in our lives, we settle for the something that looks and maybe feels like the real thing, but is really just the precursor. We know that it's not 100% "it", but in fear of what the consequences of moving forward are - we stay instead of fully pursuing what we know to be true. We settle for good and not the good that God has promised us. Often there is nothing wrong with the good, but anything outside of His Will will take us longer to get out of and often cause pain and a compromise.

Want Bible? Jacob spent 14 years earning his second wife Rachel, whom he wanted all along, because he had a moment of weakness and accidentally slept with Leah. The Israelites spent 40 years in the wilderness because they believed God's promises up until things looked bigger than what they could achieve in their own strength. Don't settle. Don't fold. Wait on His promises.
