LETTER TO THE FAITHFUL FEW

Dear Faithful One,

The first thing I want to tell you is, you're not alone. I know there are a bunch of professing Christians around you who do their own thing. The Word of God tells us to, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6). Yet, to find a Christian these days who actually does this is like searching for a needle in a haystack. I know how you feel. Sometimes these same "Christians" ridicule you for seeking and waiting on God. I want to let you know that God's got "7,000 others in Israel who have never bowed down to Baal or kissed him!" (1 Kings 19:18). He's got a remnant of believers who ARE actually seeking His will and obeying Him. You'll meet some of them soon. Until then, keep letting God prepare and develop you right where you are. God said "none who wait on Him will be put to shame" (Psalm 25:3).

Single one, I know you are waiting on God's first choice for a mate, and often you face outside pressure to settle because, "Hey, 2nd choice is okay, right?" Wrong. Listen, you need to keep waiting on and trusting God for your spouse. If God was able to hook Isaac up with Rebekah (See Genesis 24), then He'll hook you up with the one He has for you at the perfect time. Don't give up faith. God is a master matchmaker, and He's got you covered. Continue to seek His Kingdom and His righteousness, and He'll add all these things to you at the right time (Matthew 6:33). People think you're waiting for someone perfect, but all you're waiting for is a "yes" from God. Keep waiting. You're the one who will have to live with your future spouse, not the ones pressuring you, so ignore them. God cannot lie. He has the right person for you, and it won't be long until your hearts meet.

Dreamer, keep on dreaming. You've been working on that God-vision, the dream God gave you, while seeing little to no progress in the natural realm. You need to know that God sees you. The dream He gave you will come to pass just as Joseph's did at the appointed time (See Genesis 45). Keep on building that wall brick by brick, and soon you'll see your hard work pay off.

Planted one, stay planted. You're in a place or position you don't want to be in, but God's placed you there for a reason. I know it's hard, especially when you're facing outside pressure to "just go and find your own pie in the sky." Know that God has you right where you're supposed to be for His purpose and plan. His purpose for your life will prevail. Ignore the outside voices, and stay in position.

This one's for you, my faithful brothers and sisters in the faith. God is with you. Stay submitted. Keep following His voice. He's got a plan for you that's bigger than you can imagine (Ephesians 3:20). If you'll stay in position, He's about to blow your mind! Be encouraged, stay focused, and keep your eyes on God instead of those around you. No one said it would be easy, but it's worth it. Stay in faith!

"His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord" (Matthew 25:23).
