You may love to see miraculous transformations. Anytime you want to have a change though, especially one that will make your life better, it requires you to believe that it can happen. You have to make a choice to have hope, to trust in Almighty God.

Do you not know that God knows whatever there is in the sky and the earth? That is indeed in a Book. That is indeed easy for God. (Qur’an, 22:70).

Whether you have lost your job, your relationships are struggling, or you or a loved one needs healing, I want to encourage you to never give up!

It all begins with a choice; the choice to never give up. No matter how dark things look; God can turn things around in a single moment. God always completes in you what He has started; His good work and good plan.

God desires to purify you and to complete His blessing upon you so that you may give thanks. (Qur’an, 5:6).

We all just enjoyed the changing of seasons, from winter to spring. Spring symbolizes new birth, a fresh start. No matter how cold and harsh your winter might have seemed, or even been, I want to encourage you to see your new fresh start in God. Today let this truth take root in your heart and mind: In a single moment, God can make all things new for you.

Think about the story of Zachariah.

The angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you the good news of John, as a confirmer of a Word of God, eminent and chaste, a prophet, among the righteous.” He said, “My Lord, how shall I have a son while old age has overtaken me and my wife is barren?” He (God) answered: “So it is that God does whatever He wishes.” (Qur’an, 3:39-40).

It all starts with your mind and attitude. Even if you do not physically see this change right now, God can transform your heart and thinking, giving you peace that the world cannot give you. It is a sustaining peace. It is hope.

Hope carries you through as you wait for your completing moment. God’s incredible power is available for you, but you have to do your part and believe in Him and by faith, receive what He is offering and persevere in your hope! Know that,

God expands the provision for whomever He wishes and tightens it for whomever He wishes? There are indeed signs in that for a people who have faith. (Qur’an, 39:52).

So

Do not despair of the mercy of God. (Qur’an, 39:53).

When you face challenges and tough times, do you focus on the negative and begin to complain about how unfairly you are being treated? When you give in to those thoughts, you stop the transformation process.

God declares: “O My servants who have faith! Be wary and aware of your Lord. For those who do good in this world there will be a good reward, and God’s earth is vast. Indeed the patient will be paid in full their reward without any reckoning.” (Qur’an, 39:10).

When you are filled with doubt and unbelief, God’s miracle for you is put on hold. It stays on hold until you begin to walk again in obedience and put your complete trust in Him.

Anyone who reverences God, He will create an exit for him. He will provide for him whence he never expected. Anyone who puts his trust in God, He suffices him. God’s commands will be done. (Qur’an, 65:2-3).

When you stay positive, full of hope, and do not give up on God, He can take any situation in your life, any circumstance, regardless of the economy or what the world might say, and turn things around in a single moment for your benefit. Your life can change in a moment just like Zachariah and just like Mary. Qur’an says about sent Mary:

“Whenever Zechariah visited her in the sanctuary; he would find provisions and sustenance with her. He said, “O Mary, from where does this come for you?” She said, “It comes from God. God provides whomever He wishes without any reckoning.’” (Qur’an, 3:37).

When you decide to not give up and put your whole trust in God, you pave the way for greater things to happen for you, in you and through you! You are all hearing the negative reports about the bad economic conditions. However, in order for you to overcome these challenges, it is important to know what God’s Word says about it. His Word promises you in Qur’an and Psalms and Torah:

“Indeed My righteous servants shall inherit the earth.” (Qur’an, 21:105).

God is able to meet every need. No matter what challenges you are facing, God can make all things new in your life!

To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth; and whether you disclose what is in your hearts or hide it, God will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whomever He wishes and punish whomever He wishes, and God has power over all things. (Qur’an, 2:284).

But it is up to you and your choice! Keep choosing to stay in hope, believing God to make things new, in His time. Remember,

if God were to inflict you with harm, then none can remove it except Him; and if He were to bless you with good, then He is capable of all things. (Qur’an, 6:17).

Therefore, your attitude should be,

“I entrust my affair to God. Indeed God sees best the servants.” (Qur’an, 40:44).

Do not give up; in due time you will be richly rewarded!
