Your Life is Like an Upside-Down Cake

I was asking The Lord for a word and He showed me an upside-down cake.

I asked: “Lord what does this mean?”

He said: “It’s your life. It’s an upside-down cake”

I said: “OK Lord, You Have to give me a little more than this!”

He said:

“In an upside-down cake, the best part is on the bottom, it is hidden. If you don’t flip it over, you will never know what’s on the bottom! If you start eating it from the top, by the time you reach the pièce de résistance you will be too full to enjoy it! So I’m about to flip your life upside down.

If you look at an upside-down cake from the top, all you see is plain old cake. Nothing special, nothing appetizing, nothing that makes you go ‘WOW’ I want some of that! But that’s because you can’t see what I can see. You can’t see what’s hidden beneath that, boring, common layer of cake. You can’t see the sweet, juicy fruit at the bottom. You can’t smell the caramelized sugars, that have become golden and delicious thanks to the heat of the oven.

But that’s what makes this cake so amazing! Time and heat, there is no way around it.

That’s why you had to wait; you weren’t ready for what I have planned for you. You needed to ‘bake’ a little longer, and sit at My feet a little longer. I needed you to tarry in My presence. You cannot rush perfection, or you will run the risk of undercooking the cake, and ending up with a soggy mess! I couldn’t let you risk all you went through, all you’ve done, by shortening the process and cutting corners. I Am The God of perfect timing, never late and never early, just at the perfect time!

I can restore time, I can bend it, accelerate it, and slow it down. I make things happen at the appointed time. I intersect Chronos and Kairos to fit my timetable and my plan. Although it might seem that I Am silent and inactive in your circumstances, I assure you that I Am not! I Am just perfecting the hidden treasures in you until they are ready to be revealed so that you can enjoy the best of what I Have to offer, and what I Have planned for you.

The heat is producing the most perfect cake. When I turn it upside down and reveal what was hidden the whole time, you and those around you will be in awe of what it looks like! You will finally understand why you had to go through the process, and why the heat was necessary to produce the sweet, honey-like, golden substance, that drips down the whole cake, giving it the most glorious shine and flavor! 

It won’t be long now My child, it won’t be long. You are about to taste and see that I Am good, and the bitterness of the past season, will only be a distant memory.”

I love the definition of Tarry from MERRIAM-WEBSTER: to linger in expectation: WAIT, to abide or stay in or at a place

I can only echo what King David told his own heart!

Psalm 43:5 NLT

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!

He will do what He said He would do! He Is not a man that He should lie! Stay in His presence people of God!

TARRY at His feet! Do not lose hope!

When we least expect it, He will turn everything upside down, in a good way, in a GOD way! He does not waste any pain, any tears, any trial! It was all for our good, and we shall taste the sweetest victory, in the presence of our enemies!‍

Isaiah 54:4 NLT

“Fear not; you will no longer live in shame. Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood.

Pslam 34:8 NLT

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!

Jeremiah 3:33 AMP

Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.’

Habakkuk 2:3 NKJV

For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.

Psalm 37:7 NLT

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.
