Have you had your Joy Juice today? Drink it in slowly….paying close attention to
God’s timing in your life.
Though we
know that we should respect God’s timing, it’s not always easy to accept it. We get impatient; sometimes we run ahead of
Him. Ever done that? I certainly have! Let’s strive to understand the value of God’s
timing. He never gets in a hurry; nor
does He ever lag behind and show up late! Time is God’s tool to carry our His
perfect plan in our lives.
Psalm 37:4
tells us to “Take delight in the LORD, and he
will give you the desires of your heart.” Through the years I have come to look at
this verse with a new perspective. What
we truly desire, often, is a desire put into our heart from the Lord. He has purposed it in our lives and His will
is to give us that gift of seeing the desire come to fruition. It brings joy to
Him to be able to bring joy to us!
Charles Stanley encourages us to remember that
“timing is everything, and key puzzle pieces are falling into place as we
wait. God is changing hearts and
engineering circumstances we have no idea even exist. Therefore, the delays we face are not a
denial of His promise; rather they are an integral part of His strategy to
arrange all the details and get us positioned for His excellent plan.”
Keep
praying, walk patiently with the Lord, and expect joyful blessings in God’s
perfect timing.
