It's all in His timing...

Have you ever been at a place in your life when you simply wonder what God has planned for you? Have you ever questioned decisions you have made?  You feel like you have been praying and seeking answers, but have never truly turned your life over to Him? As a Christian, I know that what happens in my life is according to God's timing - not my own. It can be very frustrating for us, because after all - we are human.  A good friend of mine once told me, that he would simply like to see God's watch.  How different would we live our life if we could see His watch? Would we treat people differently? Would we  live our lives differently?    I know that He will do what is best for me, and He knows better than I.  So... although I know all of these things, it doesn't make it any easier to live life and accept them. I must learn to put my faith in Him, and trust that He knows what is best for me!

 In Jeremiah 29:11 it says, ""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.""   This a gentle reminder that He knows what is best for us - He wants us to trust in him, and be able to our life from His perspective.  What would happen in our lives if we truly gave everything over to Him, for His will to be done?  What would happen if we truly let Him guide us every step of the way, instead of us trying to find the path on our own?   I'm not sure about you, but I am certain that amazing things would happen!
