When we ask and believe God for a strong desire, we may have to go through the process of waiting on that desire. We may have to wait longer than we want to. While we’re waiting, we have to work endlessly not to allow doubt from entering our heart. The longer we wait, the stronger the doubts become. By the time we receive our desire, we can’t seem to enjoy it because we had to go through hell and high water to get it. The reason why some of us can’t seem to enjoy our desire is because our joy is invested in the wrong place. Our joy should not be attached to our desire. Our joy should be attached to God.

It was God Who was with us while we were waiting. It was God Who kept our minds at peace so we won’t go insane. It was the power of God we used to overcome doubt. God was with us the entire time. For that reason, we should have joy.

If our joy is wrapped in the promises of God and not the Creator of those promises, we are going to be disappointed every time. Our joy should be in the Lord.

John 15:10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
