“Timing is everything,” They say. This is absolutely true, but whose timing should we rely on? Ours or God’s? That right there is probably one of the easiest questions in the world to answer, but one of the hardest to live by and understand. God’s timing is perfect, when his will is being done, everything will fall into place perfectly and seamlessly, when He is not at the center of that plan, bad things tend to happen.

I recently found myself in conflict with God’s plan. As you can probably guess, God’s plan overrode mine despite my stubborn efforts to get my own way. After a while I realized that maybe I was doing this wrong and prayed about it and turned everything worrying me over to him. It was hard to take , that my master plan had failed so completely and for a while I was bitter and unable to understand why God would let these things happen to me, so I turned to the word and found this:

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NLT) 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

Those verses sum it all up pretty well in my mind. Your life his fully known and planned out by God who allow events to happen when they are meant to and not a second sooner. Your life will be at its happiest and most fulfilling when you turn it over into God’s hands and let go of your selfish ambition. After all, God did create the entire universe and everything in it, including you and me. If he got that right, then how hard can our lives be the Lord Almighty? His care and loving for us is so infinite that we cannot understand its depth, that he sent his own son into our world to take our sins upon himself and die for them so that we may have eternal life with our Creator. He wouldn’t do that if he didn’t care about us. Allow God’s will to reign in your life and you can’t go wrong. Just look at my life, everything is now falling into place so perfectly there is no other way to explain it but it being God’s plan.

   Well said! This was and is one of the hardest thing for me to do! God will answer our prayers, in one of three ways: Yes - No - wait and see. We humans do not like the No and wait and see, we want it our way which is not always Gods way!
