God is making that very clear. In fact, He can change things in a day for you, just as Kim shares here:
God did this time and time again throughout history, which you'll read about below.
Read this very encouraging word from Kim, and whatever you do, don't let go now! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Here we are in December... the end of another year. It seems impossible, yet here we are. This is the time of year when many look back over the previous months and the prayers they have been praying. It's the time of year when many decide (if their prayers haven't been answered yet), "It won't happen this year; maybe next year."
If that's you, I want to encourage you today. It's not over yet. I want to remind you of the times God changed things in a day.
In One Day
One day Joseph was in prison; the next day he was second in command. Consequently, he and his family were restored. This man not only saved his family from hunger but saved an entire nation during famine.
One day David was running for his life, eating whatever he could find. His enemy was hot on his trail. The next day he was a king living in a palace, just as God promised. His enemies were all gone.
One day Abraham and Sarah were childless, the next day she was pregnant with a baby of promise.
One day the disciples were filled with fear, hiding behind closed doors. The following day they were filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and went about preaching, teaching and performing miracles.
Time and time again we see how God changed things for His people in one day. Let me share one more with you:
"Then Elisha said, 'Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: "Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria'." So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, 'Look, if the LORD would make windows in Heaven, could this thing be?'
And he said, 'In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.'" (2 Kings 7:1-2, NKJV) (Photo via Unsplash)
Scripture goes on to say, "And so it was fulfilled..." (verse 20). Who was the ONLY person who didn't see this wonderful thing come to pass? The one who didn't believe it could happen.
I believe God can change things for His people in a day. I believe He is the same God, yesterday and today. He has not and will not change. The fact that this year is coming to an end is irrelevant. Waiting does not negate the word of the living God.
"God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" (Numbers 23:19. NKJV)
Don't Let Go!
Today, are you holding onto a promise? Don't let go now. Refuse to be one who doesn't believe that God can still change things in a day.
"Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise." (Hebrews 10:35-36, NKJV)
Hold on to the promise of God. Do not waver. This year is not over yet. It's often in the last seconds of a sports event that the game is ultimately won. May it be so with us.
In these last 'seconds' of 2021, may we see the goodness of God in the land of the living. May we see the good hand of the Lord working on our behalf. May we see His promises to us fulfilled in a day. Don't let go now.
