```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE (DDMM)```
♦ *TOPIC: IT IS ALL FOR YOUR GOOD - HE HAS YOU IN MIND Part 2*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Isaiah  49:13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon His afflicted.
 49:14 But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

What have I done that has made God forgotten about me? Does God really care about me? How can I be sure He does care for me when I'm going through this hell? Having so much pain?
Or are you asking yourself like Joseph, what is the essence of fearing God or what is the point of being righteous when all you can get in return is rejections and frustrations.

This is a question that can really make us wonder at times. God oftentimes says in a prophecy things like, “Soon this will happen,” or “Very soon you will come into the ultimate plans that I have in store for you.” The person who hears words like this may well think that “soon” will mean next week, or at the latest, towards the end of that year.

However, with God, His time table is very different from ours. Soon to Him, can be a very relative term. How long did Joseph have to wait until the promises given to him had come to pass?

What about the children of Israel who were told that they would come into their promised land? Did it happen within the year they were told this? No, they waited and waited, eating manna in the wilderness and grumbling over many things. We have only to read about many of the patriarchs and prophets of old, to know that the word “soon” wasn’t necessarily “soon in man's time table" to them. And yet they waited and waited, and we could see ultimately the promise was fulfilled.

The same is true for us today as we wait upon those promises which we know of that God has said to us.
When we have heard God whisper to us about these things we need to remember these things. But as we ponder the promises spoken to us through a genuine prophetic word or from something He said to us, we can be assured that it will come to pass.

 Remember that, "they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” Isaiah 40:31.

His promises are true. They can be trusted, and we can lean upon them as we dwell upon His word being strengthened everyday. Each day will then bring us further and further down the road of the fulfillment of those things that have been promised to us.

*Insights For Today: Be still and know that He is God.*

*_Prayer point: Almighty Father, I rely on you, I thank you and I trust you to bring to pass all your good promises to me in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*
