Another lesson for our meditation from the passage above is that, the fact that you invite God’s presence into an endeavour before stating, or at any stage of it, does not guarantee that it is going to succeed.
Life can be tough even for people who are committed to God, not to talk of those who do not have an ongoing relationship with Him. The latter have no divine cover and are susceptible to all forms of troubles and afflictions.
For there to be a creation or production of something, there must first be a Conception (imagination) of its image in the mind of the creator. It takes an imaginative mind to create. God is the Father of all dreamers; that was why He could see the Light that existed in the formlessness, the voids and the darkness that was upon the deep.
Even God is patient, and He has made patience one of the built-in features of our universe. For instance, you cannot force a tree to produce fruits before its time. You cannot force the day to break before dawn. You cannot harvest immediately after you plant.
Patience is the womb of faith. There is a gestation period between your confession of faith and the manifestation of your desires. It is patience that nurtures faith through that gestation period. Patience provides a conditioned environment that shields faith from the harsh realities of external circumstances until the delivery day.
