Your Harvest Is Coming: Finding Success When Progress Feels Slow
Manage episode 485600309 series 3476281
Have you ever felt like your dreams are slipping away because they haven't materialized on your timeline? Take heart - your story isn't over yet.
Drawing from Philippians 1:6, "He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion," we explore the power of patience and persistence when progress feels slow. God plants seeds of purpose within us, but bringing those dreams to fruition requires our active participation. The harvest you're seeking often comes from seeds planted years before - what you're reaping today might be from efforts you made long ago.
This episode provides practical guidance for finishing May strong and stepping confidently into June with renewed focus. Through personal stories, including a mentoring session with a young professional questioning her career path, we discover how to recognize the good work already happening beneath the surface of our lives.
I share three transformative questions to guide your next month: What did you accomplish this month? Where are you already finding success? What outcome are you focusing on? These simple yet profound inquiries help redirect your energy toward areas where God is already working in your life, rather than exhausting yourself on closed doors that may not be meant for you.
The distinction between worldly manifestation and godly achievement becomes clear - both require focus and action, but one relies on manipulation while the other partners with divine strength. By redirecting our attention from social media's negativity toward the victories happening around us, we reclaim our confidence in God's promises.
Ready to shift your perspective and recognize the success already unfolding in your life? Listen now, and remember - the seeds of today are the harvest of tomorrow. Your breakthrough may be closer than you think.
