The Hatching
This is the first batch of chicks that we have attempted to hatch in our new incubator. We have been patiently waiting for 21 days. 21 days is the natural incubation period for most chickens. However, 21 days have come and gone. We are now on day 23.
I was about to throw them out because they weren’t showing any signs of hatching. In the natural this is the right thing to do. In the spirit though I heard a voice say give them a little more time.
As you can see from the picture below giving more time was the right thing to do. They are now starting to hatch and God has begun to speak through this situation.
Here is what I hear Holy Spirit say, “Give it as much time as it needs.” We who are in Christ Jesus must be led by the Spirit. Not by our soul (mind & will) and definitely not by our flesh (body) but by our spirit which is now alive through faith in Him and tied directly to the Holy Spirit of God. (Romans 8:9; 1 Chorin. 12:14).
God has called on you. If you are in Him then the promises of the Bible and of prophets are yours. Do not let time defeat you. God’s ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8). His time is not our time. Do not let the test of time defeat you.
Inpatients is the destroyer of hope (Hebrews 11:1,2). Just because you can’t see what is happening on the other side of the shell doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Just because it may take longer than you think doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Remember it took 30 years for David to become King from the time Samuel anointed him. Joseph had to wait the about the same amount of time before his dreams would be realized. All the whole he was betrayed, enslaved, lied about, forgotten about and imprisoned. Let’s not even talk about Abraham, Noah, Moses, or Daniel. All of these kept their faith alive remembering the promises of God. They did not doubt or fear they simply and patiently waited on God, knowing that He would hatch his plan in due time.
God is hatching his plan in your life as well as in the US and the other countries of the world. Do not be defeated by your own wisdom and since of timing. Let God’s plan incubate and mature. Don’t abort just because it’s taking longer than you thought or go the way you think it aut to. Let God’s plan hatch.
