Delayed blessings are dangerous

I Samuel 1 tells us about the story of Elkanah and his wives Peninnah and Hannah.

Penninah had children and Hannah didn't however Elkanah loved Hannah more.
Penninah teased Hannah, never allowing an opportunity to hurt hannah slip by.

...BUT that drove Hannah to pray to the Lord!

The things I learnt from this are:

1. God Blessd hannah with only one Child but that one child became famous...Did u ever hear of penninah's children? but you heard of prophet Samuel right?


2. God blesses you in his own time, to bring glory to His name


3. God shows what He can do - He's all powerful, Almighty!


4. Delayed blessings bring you back to God; you acknowledge that you wouldn't have done it without him.


5. You learn to place great value on your blessing


6. You build your faith and patience


7. when you wait for so long and still remain in Him, you show your trust and prove your love for Him.
   

The success of the wicked is short-lived. Sometimes, it may be hard to believe this but he who laughs last, laughs best.Delayed blessings are dangerous to those who are teasing and mocking you right now, to those who think you are believing in God who is powerless, to those who think you are crazy for having faith for this long.

Delayed blessings to you, means a double blessing!!

The Lord is good all the time!
