The Right Timing

Good Morning Everyone.

Did you know God has a perfect sense of timing?

He has a great advantage over us. He knows all the past
and all the future, and knows what will fit in your life,
at exactly the right moment.

I often picture ourselves running around in frantic little
circles worrying, and a stewing, and trying to fix everything
around us.

God is standing beside us, his arms folded, He is tapping
his foot, waiting for us to calm down, so He can do His work.
We by our very own self driven anxiety are blocking the
very thing we need the most - his guidance and work in
our life.

Sometimes placing our hands out before us, we lift the
burdens to God, and say, you know what, these are just
too big. I realize I was not meant to carry such a load,
and you said you wanted to carry it for me. I release
it into your hands, and trust in your ability to work it out for me.
I am going to walk through this day with a spirit of peace,
and assurance in a heavenly Father who has watched
all that has ever happened on this earth, sees all that
will happen, and has perfect timing and answers for
all things.

Just let go.

Love

God has a broader purpose, a bigger perspective,
the greatest answers, the continual source of
strength and hope. God's plans and timing are
always perfect for us!

Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you!

Slow Morning

Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the
children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to
find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't
get mad or frustrated; God is at work watching over
you. Doubtful? Think about this:

After Sept. 11th, one company invited the remaining
members of other companies who had been decimated by
the attack on the Twin Towers to share their available
office space. At a morning meeting, the head of
security told stories of why these people were
alive...... and all the stories were just 'little' things.

As you might know, the head of the company got in late
that day because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.

One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time.

One was late because of being stuck on the New Jersey Turnpike because
of an auto accident.

One missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.

One's car wouldn't start.

One went back to answer the telephone.

One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon
as he should have.

One couldn't get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man who put on a new
pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to
get to work but before he got there, he developed a
blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy
a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.

Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn
back to answer a ringing telephone ... all the little
things that annoy me. I think to myself, this is
exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.

May God continue to bless you with all those annoying
little things and may you remember their possible purpose
