Gods timing always supersedes our urgency in a matter.  As our desperation grows, our capability to dwell in his perfect peace diminishes. Am I suggesting that we ignore the obvious? That we deny the facts placed before us? No, I'm simply saying that we have a choice. Our losses, failures and shortcomings do not need to be reviewed and replayed time and time again. But instead our reality can be centered around the promises and truths in the word of God. Our past experience does not always dictate the future. God has the final say. We have to trust him and his word more than anything or anyone else.

This revelation is challenging to really get a hold of especially in the face of the trial.  But somehow when our backs are against the wall, when we have exhausted all of our options, tried our back up plan...when we are hard pressed on every side, out of ideas, and down to the 11th hour... It's then we finally turn to the one who's had the master plan all along. It seems this is our Lord's favorite time to step in and reveal His hand and his glory!


He is the creator of the universe, who knows the stars by name, numbers the hairs on our heads and cares for even the birds of the air. He has not overlooked our plight or forgotten to handle our situation...As if he's limited in his capabilities, his resources, and his time. His word clearly says that he can do more than we could ever ask, think or imagine. Could we simply trust in the unseen, believe in the power of God, and walk in the favor he has given us? He is good. Every good and perfect gift comes from him. And he is for us not against us.






Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light And your judgment as the noonday.

Cease from anger and forsake wrath; Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing. For evildoers will be cut off, But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.

But the humble will inherit the land And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity. (Psalms 37:3-6, 8, 9, 11 NASB)
