Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am delighted to meet you today, July 20th, with this auspicious word from the Lord. May God richly bless you. What is the auspicious word the Lord has for us today? It is from 1 Peter 5:6: “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.”
Yes, dear children of God, at the right time, the Lord will surely lift you up. He is a just and impartial God. If today you are struggling, tomorrow you will flourish. If today you are in shame, tomorrow you will be honored with name and fame.You may ask, “Why does God allow me to suffer today and bless me only tomorrow?”
Beloved, the Lord allows temporary struggles so that, when you are later blessed, you will understand the pain of others and extend a helping hand. He builds compassion and character in you. Also, if blessings come too easily, we may not value them—but when we wait patiently through pain, we cherish and steward the blessings with care and humility.
That’s why the Lord says, “Until the appointed time, remain humble.” Waiting produces longing in the heart. As Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” When you finally taste the fruit of your waiting, you will experience honor and deep gratitude.
So do not think, “There is nothing left for me. My life is over. I cannot rise again.”
Beloved, when your turn comes, when your time arrives, no force on earth can stop God’s promotion in your life. The very people who mocked you will witness your exaltation and be silenced.
Let us read a powerful testimony:
Sister Kiruba Rani from Andhra Pradesh shares: “My son was unable to get a promotion at his workplace due to constant hindrances. Though he had all the qualifications and made many efforts, nothing worked. He was deeply discouraged. I contacted God’s Love Ministries and requested prayer. The prayer warrior prayed sincerely, and after that, my son received a promotion along with an increased salary. Praise God!”
What God did for her family, He will do for you as well—in His perfect time.
Let Us Pray:
Loving Heavenly Father, We thank You for Your promise. At the right time, You will exalt us. Exalt every child who humbles themselves under Your mighty hand and waits patiently for Your timing. Open new doors, prepare new paths and lift them from every valley of discouragement. Let Your children be the head and not the tail, above and not beneath.
Even today, I remember those celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries. According to Jeremiah 31:3, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness,” I bless them wholeheartedly. May this word be fulfilled in their lives throughout this year.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we pray,
Amen.
