Timing & Trust


A pair which go hand in hand. Today I read that timing plays an important part in learning to trust God. If He did everything we asked for immediately, we would never grow and develop. Timing and trust are twins. They work side by side. "But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand." Psalms 31:14

Have you held someone's hand when life was good and full of ease, the hand full of warmth and assurance. Have you held the hand of another when pain struck...cold and clammy, shakey, almost lifeless yet hanging on. Jesus promises to always hold our hand, lead us, comfort us, and even hold us up when our strength has failed. In times that are unsure, let Jesus be your refuge and strength. "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped." Psalm 28:7

When God plants a dream in your heart, he starts preparing you for its fulfilment. He strengthens your character and deepens your spiritual roots. Don't try to bring it to birth prematurely, instead trust God's timing.
