FAITH CAPSULE: Trusting without having hope is not complete.

Exodus 32:1-14

Trusting and hoping the word of God is a way to get the way.
Trusting without having hope is not complete to gain the blessing of God.
Jeremiah 17:7 admonishes, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.”
Prompt yourself to trust and hope in the move of God.
As a believer of God, in your area of challenges of this world, are you experiencing affliction? 
Is it delay that is waging challenges to deny expectation?
Are your challenges taking longer than you do not perceive?
Are you beginning to lose sight of God for His divine intervention? 
As a believer, see your delay as deliverance on the way.
The word of God encourages all not to become a victim of discouragement waiting on God. Psalm 34:19 states, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” 
Trusting and hoping the word of God is to know that a delay in the manifestation of expectation is not a denial. 
It is clear that delay or another kind of challenge is imminent, but God is faithful.
His promise of deliverance for the one that trusts and hopes of His word is intact. 
Ignoring delay in any area of life will block out doubt.
Ignore delay!
Knowing whom you believe with a consistent meditation on His testimonies is encouraging to know there is a way where there is none. 
The Israelites experienced a delay that resulted in complaints and worries. 
The Bible records, “Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” (Exodus 32:1) 
The children of Israel knew quite well by their exposure to different miracles through Moses that God could not have abandoned them, yet they gave into an unnecessary worry that did not have a basis. 
Lack of trust and hope leads to worrying before God.
With the delay of Moses coming down from the mountain, an unholy gathering took over from where there was supposed to be a holy gathering.
The Israelites saw a delay that turned them to seek another god. 
Some delays are necessary when God is at the beginning of such a journey. 
Also, there are places one has started, but the delay has made it look like wasting out. 
Today, waiting on God can never be wasted. 
Some delays are not of failure, but to make a way to get to the expected end. 
Take note that without faith, the delay will turn quickly out of the way of the word of God that delivers. 
Allow God by taking all your delay to God in prayer. 

Prayer for today: Ask God for the miracle of deliverance to answer in your direction.
