God Has Perfect Timing.

Psalm 37:7-8
7 Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
or fret about their wicked schemes.

8 Stop being angry!
Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper—
it only leads to harm.


I mentioned yesterday on how I felt about God saying "no" to some of prayers. It can be a good thing when you look back, but at the time, a little discouraging.

David even got a little discouraged at times. He cried out not understanding the pain God was making him endure. These hardships meant good in the end though. God used those experiences to strengthen him allowing him to trust God.

In your life, do you ever wonder why you're struggling when you've done nothing to deserve it? Well, you have to understand that God has perfect timing. It's not always perfect to us though. Still, God can do wonders in us far-from-perfect individuals.

Understand God's perfect timing by reflecting on things in your past and see how it has affected your spiritual life and if has part in who you are today. Did it strengthen you as a result?

"God operates on a different timetable than we do." ~Brian Jones, author of Second Guessing God.
