God's Timing

Today, as I read in Jesus Calling by Sarah Young”  I found Gods timing to be perfect as usual.  You see, Ive been struggling as of late with different things and it was inspiring to read;

~ COME TO ME FOR REST and refreshement.  The journey has been too much for you, and you are bone-weary.  Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity for Me to take charge of your life. 
Remember that I can fit everything into a pattern for good, including the things you wish were different.  Start with where you are at this point in time and space, accepting that this is where I intend you to be.  You will get through today one step, one moment at a time.  Your main responsibility is to remain  attentive to Me, letting Me guide you through the many choicees along your pathway.
This sounds like an easy assignment, but it is not.  Your desire to live in My presence goes against the grain of the world, the flesh, and the devil.”  Much of your weariness results from your constant battle againste these opponents.  However, you are on the path of My choosing, so do not give up!  Hope in me, for you will again priase Me for the help of My Presence. ~

Romans 8:28 {Amplified Version {AMP}}
We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.

Psalm 42:11 {New Amercian Standard {NASB}}
Why are you in despair, O my soul?  And why have you become disturbed within me?  Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.
How wonderful that what I needed to read the most was there exactly when I needed to read it!  Too often we I get consumed with my troubles and sadly, easily discouraged.  The challenge is to trust His timing.  He knows what is best.

God's timing is perfect!

Take Care

But if He'd just listened to me we could make that timing even better. How many times have I uttered that prayer. lol

It is encouraging to see you put your trust in God's timing and ability to work all things for good. It sure would be good to see "hindsight" a little sooner, sometimes, right? But another verse that comes to mind is one that Paul had to come to terms with, That God's grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in weakness. God bless.
