God's timing

"He has made everything beautiful in it's time." Eccl. 3:11

Yeah, it's almost spring! Just flipping the calendar to March fills me with anticipation of green grass, yellow daffodils, purple crocuses. Sometimes in our lives it seems as if we are just waiting for tomorrow...so we miss what God's gifts are for us TODAY. It can be so easy to long for something so much that we become unable to see the beauty in today. Maybe you've been praying for your spouse's salvation, reconciliation with a friend or answers to a tough issue in your life. We often think, why not today, Lord?

"God is consistently, perfectly, always on time. You may be waiting for God to fulfill a promise to you. Don't lose hope; he's on time and always keeps his promises. However, sometimes God's waiting room can be God's training room. Waiting helps you grow into the woman he intends you to be"

God can use today, right now, to mold you to be more like Him...but you need to be available. You need to focus on today, not tomorrow. Look for the beauty out your window, while there's still snow and know that God's promise is that spring WILL come.

Prepare
Can you remember a time that you were waiting on God and how He worked in you life during that waiting time? That is part of your testimony. Share it here!
