God's Precepts & Examples Ministries

Don't be in a hurry.

As I was reading today's Bible verse another one came to mind. The verse that came to mind is where God was saying to all things there's a time and a season. So oftentimes we try to get ahead of what God's plans are for us. To only find ourselves going backwards instead of going forward, or coming to a standstill instead of continuing to move. We all think without even realizing it how we can't wait until tomorrow. When tomorrow is not even promised to us. We go through life rushing trying to find that next moment, or that next big deal or even that next opportunity. Instead of embracing that in which we have right now. We are so quick to rush our life away and don't even realize what we're actually doing. One thing for sure is that time waits for no one. While some of us even think that we have all the time in the world when we actually don't. God has given us an adequate amount of time to get things together and live the life that he has strategically played for us. Now this is where we mostly get off track. Because we want to do things our way and not God's way.

I'm reminded of a conversation that I had with a friend of mine, where they had told me why should all this be by themselves. Note the fact that they just got out of a marriage and found themselves jumping back into another relationship without even giving themselves time to heal. Not realizing the devastation that they may cause in the new relationship. What I had told them was basically from the scriptures. You can't put new wine into old wineskins, because of the fermentation will make it burst. To make this plain and simple you can't carry old baggage into a new relationship because then it would tarnish the new relationship. We oftentimes find ourself rushing trying to jump back into new things because of what we feel that we lack. Or not wanting to be by ourselves. But it's in that moment of being by ourselves is when God can work on us. Because we cannot work on ourself. Yet we often say when I get myself together or I have to find myself. When all alone all we have to do is open up our word and then God will show us who we are. I'm saying all this to say that we don't have to be in a hurry to find another purpose or even to find another love. For God said that if we just trust in him, when it's time he will begin to elevate us, he will begin to raise us up. He will begin to bring us out of what ever situation we are in. All God requires is for us to trust the process. Even though it seems like an eternity for things to turn around in your life. He still wants you to trust the process.

So often times we have asked God for certain things and we've gotten those things and could not handle those things. All because we got them out of our season. That's why we lost that thing we were praying to God for just because we thoughtwe really wanted it. That's why we lost that new car, the better paying jod,or even that new house or spouse that we thought that we were prepared for. I've learned that in the mist of this process that it's only by God's grace and his mercy that we have what we have. Even our very coexistence.

So I say unto you as I bring this to a close. Life is to short to throw it all away trying to find a microwave fix for something only God can handle. All wounds need time to heal, so don't be in a rush though life without going through the healing process first.
Remember this race that we run called life is not given to the swift nor to the strong but until those who can endure until the end.

I won't to say to all of my followers thank you for all your prayers for my recovery.
