Settling for Less than the Promise!

While I too often get tired of waiting, I have determined in my own life not to settle for anything less than the fullness of what God has shown me!

Recently upon waking up, I saw the most unspiritual thing that the Lord has ever shown me in the Spirit realm. The moment that I saw it, I began to wonder if I was hearing and seeing correctly because it was a Slice of Dutch Apple Pie!

As soon as I saw it, I said “Lord am I in the flesh with this?”

 And He said, “No your not.” 

So I asked Him, “Then why are you showing me my favorite kind of pie?”

 He replied, “Would you settle for this slice? Or would you rather have the whole pie?”

I said, “If I have a choice, then I’d like the Whole Pie.”

And the Holy Spirit said, “Then hear the Word of the Lord! Tell My people to stop settling for less than what I have provided for them! Many have settled for only part of the Promise that I have given them, because of the waiting involved in it, to the point that many have deferred their Hope because of it. But the Word of God stands sure and Unshaken by time itself.”

Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven [stands firm as the heavens].” Psalms 119:89

How many of us are waiting upon a Word from God which hasn’t manifested yet in its entirety?  We have seen it in part, we know it in part, but we haven’t seen its complete fulfillment yet. It’s just like that slice of pie which I saw that morning, the moment that I opened my eyes, I could have settled for that piece, or I could hold out for the Entire pie!

“In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those WHO THROUGH FAITH AND BY PRACTICE OF PATIENT ENDURANCE AND WAITING ARE [NOW] INHERITING THE PROMISES.” Hebrews 6:12

While I too often get tired of waiting, I have determined in my own life not to settle for anything less than the fullness of what God has shown me! While that teaser slice of pie (in the Spirit realm) looks good, it’ll only satisfy you temporarily, for God has prepared a Table filled with God’s Promises for your life instead of just a Slice of God’s Goodness!

Don’t Settle for Anything Less than God’s Best!!!
