After spending some time in my word this morning, I am ever convinced that society has put parameters on our thinking. This may or may not be intentionally but God is here to break those parameters off of our minds. God is able to show us in His word what He has done and can still do even today. Many times we think, oh that was then. However Gods word reminds us that the God we serve is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. No longer will I be bound by societies thinking. My mind has been renewed and is grounded on Gods word. So many things I desire in my heart that I have given to God. I believe they will come to pass in Gods perfect timing. One of my hearts desires is to be a mother. I believe that God has already answered my prayer. I am just thankfully waiting for the manifestation in the natural. In my waiting I build my faith up by staying in the word. This passage of scripture just took me to a whole different level in my faith.
Genesis 11:10-26 NIV
[10] This is the account of Shem’s family line. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad.

What a passage of encouragement. Look at the ages of these men and God answered their prayer. God gave them children beyond the “so called time” that society locks us into. I am free this day from the “age timeline” society embeds in our minds. If God did it for them then He can do it again. Same God back then, Same God right now. My age has nothing to do with it. Whenever God grants me with children He will see fit for me to live out my long life by their side. I declare this day I shall see my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, and their children’s children’s. I believe in God and I believe in His word. When God says it that settles it! Whatever your hearts desire is don’t loose faith, build yourself up in Gods word, and watch it come to pass.
