Timing

Timing.......I am continually in awe of how God arranges things to occur at just the right time. His plans are so much better than mine. His provision is never early and it is never late. According to Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He has made everything beautiful in its time." (ESV) If we insist that something we need or desire has to occur within our time frame, we will often be disappointed. Even if it is in God's plan, His timing may not be the same as ours. God knows what will be a blessing and in what time it will bless us the most. We should not hesitate to share the desires of our heart with God, but we should avoid telling Him how (or when) to provide the things that we have asked him for. The scripture reminds us "commit everything you do to the Lord, trust Him, and he will help you." Psalm 37:5 (NLT) If we truly trust His timing, we will be much more satisfied with the outcome.
