Faith in the Middle

To have faith in the start and end is no problem. But the problem is to have faith in the middle.

It is in the middle that people often lose the battle. That’s why God is saying: “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.” (1 Peter 4:12)

Will you have faith in the middle? God obviously shows the beginning and the end but won’t show you the middle. God doesn’t give us all the details. The key is that we must have faith and remember that God is in control. Remind yourselves by saying: “God! I know you are still on the throne”, and then stay on your dream. Don’t get discourage in the middle. Keep believing. Keep being your best.

None of us like the adversity. We like to be convenient. So when something started to happen but the situation is looked impossible, remember that God is in control in the middle. God is saying: “You are not staying there. You are going through.” So don’t settle in the middle. Keep moving forward. Trust the Lord and call on him by saying: “The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.”(Ps. 138:8)

Walk by faith not by sight. “ ¹³Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ¹⁸And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. …”(Ephesians 6:13-18)

You may be facing difficulties now, but be encouraged that this is not permanent. There is a day of deliverance. Your day of deliverance is coming. Your day of victory is coming. That doesn’t mean God is ignoring you. He allowed that to happen because he knows you can handle it. God is in complete control. Don’t get discourage by the processes. God is working behind the sense for you. Just have faith in the middle. Your day of victory is coming.
