Perfect Timing

Sometimes we don't realize that Gods doing the work for us and we want to jump the gun and do it ourselves. God's the God of timing. It's so hard not to force the outcome and just to wait.

Joseph didn't pursue his opportunities God blessed him with opportunities. He just had the right heart through all his situations even though he was wronged so many times in his life. If you don't know the story of Joseph in the Bible...I'd encourage you to read it. It's in Genesis. Joseph was betrayed by his own family and sold into slavery.

How many of us have felt betrayed by our families? Now this doesn't have to your physical biological family or it could be. I think we all experience betrayal at one point in time or another, I just happened to have experienced multiple times in my life - sadly. But what it has done is made me a stronger person. I would never wish betrayal, hurt or any maliciousness or painful experience on anyone, but I will say that these heartache experiences that bring us to our knees are the moments that grow us the most. I've had so much pain in my life and God's growing me by leaps and bounds because I'm finally submitting it all to Him. It's so hard to do but so freeing.

Heaps of Burdens of pains are being lifted off my soul and I have only my Lord and Savior to thank for dying on the cross for me so I wouldn't have to carry all the evil that has been done to me. "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

I don't think believers fully understand the above verse. Christ died so we wouldn't have to suffer. God sent His only begotten Son so we could be free from suffering and so we can be healed completely through the Blood of the Spotless Lamb - who is Jesus. We are so privileged to know a Savior who loved us enough that He stood in the gap of our sinful souls to bridge the chasm that sin had created between us and our Holy Father. Thank you God, Jesus and Holy Spirit for having an ultimate plan to win us back to Your Heart. I am forever indebted for this all consuming love that God has for me, for us, and for every human no matter where they are at in life. God does NOT discriminate against those who are looked down upon by society's and prejudices. He loves all His creations no mater what shape, size, or where their heart lays. He loves everyone with an unbiased heart and I hope He is teaching you how to do the same.

God doesn't enact His plan for our lives quickly. He takes His time. We have so much to learn as we grow as spiritual human beings and God wants to help us to get it right and get it good. He even teaches us through mistakes and failures. He's going to use everything - all the details - just like a potter uses clay and broken pieces to form a new work of art. God will use all our bruises and battle scars for His glory. He wants us to find our identity in Him and nothing else - not things and not people. Our only source should be from the One Who made us - God. So dear reader, stop rushing everything in your life. Stop pushing the fast forward button. Relax. Rest. Wait upon the Lord and He will renew your strength. Wait and you will mount up with wings like an eagle. Wait and you will run and not be weary; you will walk and not faint. Lord teach us to WAIT.

Here's a song thats about waiting on the Lord - I hope you check it out!
