Proverbs 13:12 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life." (Proverbs 13:12 NKJV)

He gives us awareness that while we are still in this world, we are susceptible to the emotions of the flesh. We get discouraged when things don't happen as we expect it. We want our hopes to instantly come through. When delays or deferments occur, we panic. Then, we get depressed. But, when it comes through it brings us to great joy, like a tree of life (Which signifies as if forever it gives us fulfillment). This pictures a volatile state of instability. And, that's how it is when God and the counsel of His words are factored out of our way of living.

We must stand on stable ground of His grace by faith in Christ Jesus and be guided by His words, so He can move us from where we are to where He wants us to be - happy, stable, fruitful, and blessed. And, as we delight in Him, the desires of  our heart will come through and be a tree of life to be a blessing for His glory, in Jesus name. Apostle Paul exhorts us with these words: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
