FAITH CAPSULE:God will not forget you for a new name and a glorious story of His visitation.
Luke 1:5-45
God alone is the perfect creator. God alone created all without giving out contract to any contractor in His creating agenda. God is the only unchanging changer and He is the only God that reverses any irreversible. God performs perfection. He alone remembers with favor and visits with salvation. Above it all, God alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. (1 Timothy 6:16)
It is certain that God will wait to act on your behalf if you will wait on Him ALONE. God will remember you at His appointed time and you will have a name change, a name that glorifies His Holy name shall become the name you will be answering to. Elizabeth was her name when her situation gave her a different name. It is written, “Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.” (Luke 1:36) Her name was Elizabeth not Barren. Does that sound like your situation? No man had any idea of what God was going to do with her when they were calling her barren. When God remembered Elizabeth, He visited her and mockery was converted to miracle. Elizabeth barren answered new name as the mother of John the Baptist. Imagine how God remembers and visit in the place of ugly situation to change to beautiful situation? After Jesus, there was none like John in the bible days. Watch out, do not give up, God is going to visit you the same way He visited Elizabeth and turned her story around for His glory.
Again, it is written, “Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” (Mark 10:46-47) Blind Bartimaeus was his ugly situation name. Despite the fact that they know his father’s name (Timaeus), man made the choice of calling him blind Bartimaeus. On Bartimaeus day of Jesus’ visitation, he disregarded many from keeping him quiet. Many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more until Jesus gave him a standstill attention which changed his story from blind Bartimaeus to one that followed Jesus.
Be patience by waiting on God which wait to act for those who wait on Him. God will not forget you for a new name and a glorious story of His visitation. Take to heart that God is God which gives new mercy at every new morning. Your story is set for a new song for the glory of God!
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to keep you waiting on God alone.
