Are You In Position?!

In the bible, when the prophet Elijah asked his spiritual son Elisha what he wanted before he was taken away by God, Elisha responded that he basically wanted to be able to do what Elijah was doing by the power of God...times TWO!! Now although Elijah acknowledged that what Elisha was asking for wasn't easy, he didn't say it was impossible. In fact, the request was actually quite feasible but it was dependent upon one thing on Elisha's part: if he was in position when Elijah was taken away, he'd get his heart's desire, but if he was out of place, he'd miss his blessing.

I'm learning much like Elisha, that timing and position is everything. There are things that we are all trusting God for and believing Him to do, but it takes us being in the proper place to receive those very blessings. It's a sad thing to know that you or I missed out on an amazing blessing or opportunity simply because we were somewhere else or doing something that we shouldn't be doing, or simply put...being out of position.

Elisha knew exactly what he desired and Elijah knew that the only way for this servant of his to get his request was to be in the right place at the right time! Elisha didn't leave Elijah for even a moment to go take a rest, or to tend to things at home, or to go take care of stuff for work...he stayed in position all the time!

I believe that in the last few months left in this year, God is going to unleash some blessings that we've been waiting for all year. For some of us, we should have gotten those very same blessings earlier in the year, but when it was time for us to get it, we weren't in position. Well, I firmly believe that it's time for another shot!

What are you desiring of God to do in your life? Think about it, go ask Him again, and hurry and get in position to receive it! Now remember, Elisha stayed with Elijah for quite some time before the blessing manifested, so don't you lose heart if you don't see yours come right away! I guaranteed you that once you consistently stay in position, which is walking in the path God has created for you, then you'll surely get what you're asking Him for!
