God always has a due season
When we are going through life, not everything comes out the way we had planned. Just because we live in the earth everyone encounters challenges and difficulties. However, it is during such times that we ought to continue to sow. In other words, we don't let times of challenge stop us from doing what is good and doing what is right. During such times is exactly when we need to continue sowing. Because we have a promise from our Heavenly Father. In Galatians 6:9 it says "...let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not loose heart." So during those challenging times continue sowing and doing good. Do not give up or grow tired in doing good because our due season will surely come.

God can redeem us out of anything and restore us
We think of the account in Amos 3:12 NLT "A shepherd who tries to rescue a sheep from a lion's mouth will recover only two legs or a piece of an ear. So it will be for the Israelites in Samaria" What that means is that our Heavenly Father can bring us out of any situation and restore to us what's been lost. The Shepherd in the verse stands for Jesus. The two legs and the piece of an ear stand for the believer and the lion stands for the devil. If the sheep has given place to the devil in their life and he has stolen from them, the believer can take the word of God into their ear and stand on it with their two legs and have everything that the devil has stole from them restored. My dear friends, the Lord has the tendency to restore in double.

God always has a plan
Our Heavenly Father always has a plan for us. Sometimes we may feel that we have missed God's direction in times past; because we didn't ask him direction as we should have or either we weren't listening when he was speaking to us about his plan. But the good news is that God always has another way for us to get back into his plan. How do we figure that out? Well we don't. We simply seek the Lord and research his heart and then follow his leading. As God's children we are not to be lead by our mind but we are to be lead by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirits' direction will bring peace and will bring provision. (Matthew 6:33)

Sometimes we have to wait
We live in an instant society today. We have instant Jello, pudding and a host of other instant products. So when you live in a society that creates inventions or develops new technology to principly save you time, it is possible that this mentatlity can creep over into the things of God. Now it is possible to experience instant deliverence, healing and et cetera from our Heavenly Father. But when it comes to sowing our seeds of faith and offerings into the Kingdom of God, there is usually an element called time between sowing and reaping. When we sow we, for the most part, do not receive an instant harvest. There is a divine time of waiting and then when we have entered the due season, we reap.
(Isaiah 40:31)

We want to walk in our divine inheritance
The Apostle Paul shared with King Agrippa when he was before him the heavenly vision that God had given him. A part of that heavenly vision is that the Apostle Paul would walk in his divine inheritance in Jesus Christ. Isn't that wonderful. God's vision for us is that we walk in the inheritance provided for us in Christ. In that inheritance is everything that we need. It includes our salvation, healing, financial well-being and etc. In this inheritance we have every need and every circumstance provided for. Don't we have such a great God. It's out of his love that he provided for us such a wonderful inheritance; and a part of his dream for us is that we would walk in this inheritance. (Acts 26:15-19)

We always want to be at the right place at the right time
On the day of Pentecost there were 120 people in the upper room waiting on the promise that Jesus had given them. I thought Jesus served thousands upon thousands of people. Didn't the Lord Jesus hold a sermon on the mount to a multitude. Where were all of these people at on the day of Pentecost? We don't know where they were at. I am sure that some of these people were very much affected by the sermons of the Lord Jesus and that these words of our saviour impacted their life. However, on the day of Pentecost we know that those people who were not in the upper room were at the wrong meeting. As God's children we want to make sure that we let God direct the sheepfold that we are to be apart of and that He directs our steps so that we are at the right place at the right time. (Acts 1:15)

Do we see God at work in our life?
In Philippians 2:13 the bible says "13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." Our Heavenly Father is always working in us to do His will and for His good pleasure when we live our life by faith. That means that when we make our choices and decisions by faith, that our Heavenly Father is always working in us to do His will. He is allowing things to come into our life. When we live by faith He is allowing people to come into our life. He is allowing things to happen concerning us. We as God's children want to be watchful about what our Heavenly Father is doing. Because that is our guidance as to what is His will.
