All Good Things Are In God's Time

When I graduated from seminary, it was my desire to serve the Lord. But all good things occur according to God's timing. It is like Moses who grew up in a royal family. He understood his people were oppressed so he killed an Egyptian who was beating a fellow Hebrew. The problem was that took care of one Egyptian, but with a few million more to go! So God sends him into the wilderness for 40 years to be trained to watch with God and not to move before He says so. Do you have similar experiences? A time when you wanted to please God just to have him send you into the wilderness? The problem is that God wants us to be dependant on Him for all things - even in our ability to serve him. Individuality is a reproach, so He must teach us to walk with Him before we can be trusted by Him.

Daily Prayer: Father, teach us to be able to make strides with You. Let us not lean to our own understanding, but develop wisdom by patience and listening to Your Word. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
