Guest Post – Don’t Abort the Promise
Have you ever sat back and pondered over where you are in life?
Most of us would say we should be a lot further than the current state we are in right now.
Have you asked yourself, “What happened?”
You started off really well and nothing could stop you. Plans and preparations were put in place that would deter you from failing. You declared and promised God that you were moving full speed ahead.
Then life happened.
Something caused you to stop. You took your eyes off the promise and focused on what was in plain sight. The expectation you had was so high, it seemed unreachable. You aborted the promise.
This happens every single day.
As women we have huge dreams for ourselves and our family. When things don’t line up the way we expect them to, we get discouraged. When the vision is not fully functional in the allotted time we’ve put in place, we pull back. We take our eyes off the promise and look at what’s in front of us.
We focus on the lack of finances, the child being disobedient, workplace issues , sickness or the lack of support from our loved ones. Those things are definitely road blocks, but in no way, shape or form should they cause you to abandon the mission. You can’t get so bombarded with what’s wrong, you lose sight of what’s right. If God called you to it, he will see you through it. Despite the obstacles, he’s got your back.
We serve a God that cannot lie and will never fail us.
Below are three tips to Begin Again.
• Pick the promise back up and start working it
• Find an accountability partner
• Do not compare your progress with others
He who started the work will be faithful to complete it.
Just keep working it!
