"Afraid To Hope"
[15] “Call her back again,” Elisha told Gehazi. When the woman returned, Elisha said to her as she stood in the doorway, [16] “Next year at this time you will be holding a son in your arms!” “No, my lord!” she cried. “O man of God, don’t deceive me and get my hopes up like that."
2 Kings 4:15-16 NLT
Even though in Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) the bible says, Faith is the substance of things hoped for...Many of you are afraid to hope.
SOMEBODY:
It's not that you don't want it; you want it, but you're afraid to hope for it, because you remember the last time you got your hopes up and was let down. So, you're not too quick to hope. You're afraid to hope.
God says, It's not that what you're hoping for is wrong, it is right. SOMEBODY: IT IS RIGHT, but it's time is not yet.
Notice in 2 Kings 4: Elisha didn't just prophesy to the woman about a child, but he gave her a time. TIMING IS EVERYTHING!!
👉You can hope all you want, but if your timing is off...
👉Ask God for His timing. Take it off your calendar, and put it on His calendar.
What does God's calendar look like, what does His calendar sound like?
His calendar looks & sounds a lot like:
Habakkuk 2:3 NLT
[3] This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.
[22] At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”
Isaiah 60:22 NLT
👉So, Beloved, Don't be afraid to hope. The woman Elisha prophesied to in 2 Kings 4 did end up having a son a year later.
👉It's about timing.
Ask God for His timing.
👉Sometimes, We get in our own way, hoping for something and basing it on when the world says we are ready for it or when the people around us, family members say we should have had it already.
👉Don't do that, but definitely hope. Make God your partner in hope. Consult Him & Not THEM.
Amen!!
Until Next Sunday.
