Make Room for Suddenly — Two2Grow, May 26
"Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting." Acts 2:2 NIV
Suddenly marks the key moment in the book of Acts; the disciples waiting for the promise of the Spirit in the Upper Room experienced God’s sudden move that changed history forever.
You can find yourself caught between a rock and a hard place, seeing no human way out. You might have a problem with no apparent solution. And if there is going to be any positive change, it seems like it will only come slowly and take ages. You might battle health issues, financial struggles, or relational conflicts, and the devil keeps telling you that the future will just be an extension of the present.
You might have a God-given dream of a certain career or academic or athletic achievement, but you don’t have the money or connections to get there. Or you might sense a call of God on your life, but you are still grinding away at your job, and watching the years pass by is eating you up inside, and you can’t see any door opening.
The feeling that whatever is now will always be is a lie meant to make you take your eyes off Jesus and the promise God has given you and make you forget God’s power.
We need to make room for God’s suddenly! Because the Holy Spirit is everywhere and all-powerful, anything is possible and things can change very quickly. God can do more for you in a split second than a lifetime of human effort and hard work ever could. The Spirit can open doors that you never thought possible and bring you to places you never dreamed of.
Stay faithful to God and keep looking to Him in prayer. As you prayerfully wait on Him, as the disciples did in Acts, you make room for God’s suddenly—and like them you will have a story to tell about God’s suddenly that brought about the fulfillment of God’s plan.
Heavenly Father, I look beyond my problems to You today. Give me strength to wait on You, fully confident that in Your timing You will act in power on my behalf and fulfill every promise.
