If you're still waiting for God to move, you're not fully persuaded.
Being fully persuaded means you know He has already answered, already moved.
Of course, we know from Hebrews 4 that His works were finished from the foundation of the world, and 2 Corinthians 1:20 assures us that all the promises of God are YES in Him. So much for 'sometimes the answer is 'no'...
You know the story of Abraham. He and his wife were WAY old, and she had never been able to conceive. But God promised them a son.
'In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, "SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE."
Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb; yet, with respect to the PROMISE OF GOD, he did NOT WAVER IN UNBELIEF but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being FULLY ASSURED [fully persuaded or convinced] that WHAT GOD HAD PROMISED, HE WAS ABLE ALSO TO PERFORM. [Romans 4:18-21]
According to this passage, he hoped against hope—in other words, he hoped in spite of natural, physical circumstances, in which there was obviously no hope.
How did he do that? He was fully assured—fully persuaded, fully convinced—that God was able to carry out His promises.
Instead of contemplating his old body or Sarah's old, barren body, he believed God. He was FULLY CONVINCED that God's miracle-working power was backing His promises, and that His promises would override natural facts.
If you're still wondering, worrying or waiting, you're not fully persuaded.
Period.
So do what Abraham did.
'...he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God...' [Romans 4:20]
Give glory to God. Meditate on His promises and grow strong in faith. Make the decision not to waver.
Amen.
