One morning following a Bible Study, I spoke with a group of
women on the importance of disciplined, daily, personal devotions. Suddenly I realized
I was late for a meeting on the other side of town.
The Lord calmed my spirit and said to my heart that He was in
control, to trust Him. We finished our discussion and I encouraged them to set
aside time for their relationship with the Lord. At 12:45 I walked into the next meeting and
apologized for being forty-five minutes late.
They said, “Oh, no, you’re fifteen minutes early!”
Do you ever find yourself committed to be in different
places at the same time? One Sunday
morning I realized, five hours from home, that I was scheduled to be in two
meetings that night. I recognized it as a
test, an opportunity to trust God and wait on Him. Ten minutes after pulling my
car into the garage, I received a phone call from a friend. When I told him of
my conflict, he offered to take care of one of the meetings for me – an answer
to prayer!
I was asked to get an additional player for our Bridge
group. During my devotions that morning I asked God to please help me know the
right person to call. My phone rang. A member of the group asked if she could
play with us even though she had not signed up. I just smiled and said “Thank
you, God!”
God’s timing is perfect. We think we are in control, fooling
ourselves. He will always lead us in the best way, at the best time, with no
stress.
I will relax and enjoy everything in His perfect time. I
hope you will, too!
