God's Timetable

"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time"  -- 1 Peter 5:6 / New King James Version
 
Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to wait.  This is especially true when we are in a hurry and when we want things to happen now, if not sooner!  But God's plan does not always happen in the way that we would like or at the time of our own choosing. Our task, as believing Christians who trust in a benevolent, all-knowing Father is to wait patiently for God to reveal Himself.
 
We human beings are, by nature, impatient.  We know what we want, and we know exactly when we want it:  RIGHT NOW!  But, God knows better. He has created a world that unfolds according to His own timetable, not ours . . . thank goodness!

"He has the right to interrupt your life. He is Lord. When you accepted Him as Lord, you gave Him the right to help Himself to your life anytime He wants"

Lord, Your timing is always right for us.  You have a plan for our life that is grander than we can imagine. When we are impatient, remind us that You are never early or late.  You are always on time, so let us trust in You . . . always.
