Hearing from God Each Morning (June 12)

This blog is about today's devotion from the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.

Today's devotion was about praising God while waiting for His promises to be fulfilled. It talked about how Abraham and Sarah were promised an heir, but at the ages of ninety and one hundred, they still did not have a child and it was no longer naturally possible. Still, God chose this as the time to give them a child.

I don't know if God has promised me children and a family, but it is something I have wanted since a young age. I know that if it is His will to have them, I will. I must wait patiently for God to bring them to me, because if I try to rush into things, I may miss what God wants me to see.

Last night I had a dream that I had several daughters. I have not had dreams about my children in so long. When I woke up I just thought, "Someday, God, right?" When I saw what today's devotions were about, I was so shocked.

God wants me to wait patiently and praise Him. When I do this, He will take care of the other things in life. I think of one of my favorite verses, Exodus 14:14, which says, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." I need to be still right now, and wait for Him to bring these things I desire (provided that it is His will).
