Living in God's Timing
by Jennifer Pulliam
Life is about timing. God has a plan for each of our lives. He also has a perfect timing for all things He desires to accomplish in our lives. We need to learn how to be sensitive to His timing. I'm learning that trusting God often requires not knowing HOW He is going to accomplish what He has promised; and it also requires not knowing WHEN He will do it.
We must also learn to FAITHFULLY FOLLOW GOD when we are called to BOLDLY STEP OUT OR when we are told to WAIT. Many times we don't understand. However, when one door is closed we should watch WITH ANTICIPATION to see what new doors God will open. When new doors are open, we must be willing to STEP OUT and WALK THROUGH THEM in FAITH. In many instances, when God opens a door, He is giving us an OPPORTUNITY TO GROW and to serve Him in NEW, SURPRISING, and EXCITING ways. God uses these opportunities to STRETCH OUR FAITH in Him and to MATURE us.
Perhaps you've been thinking to yourself that you're not as far on the journey as you thought you would be--I want to take this opportunity to encourage you to NOT become disappointed with yourself or your progress. Sometimes we're just not quite ready for what God has for us. Nevertheless, we must continue to HAVE FAITH, BELIEVE IN OURSELVES, and KEEP PRESSING toward the prize. Go ahead, I dare you to TRUST GOD! He's preparing you for a blessing designed especially for YOU! Believe that your time WILL come, and your dreams WILL become REALITY...because you are living in God's timing!
