his timing

hey y`all! todays been a good day of course :] i spent it all day at church!! Pastor Chad's sermon was greatt. and it was kindah cool to go into the small groups and decide on new things to do for worship! well anyway, my devotion was on God's Timing last night. Psalm 27:14, "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." which tells us, good thigns will come to those to wait :] we have to realize that things dont happen on our time, they happen on God's time. Also, Isaiah 49:8, "Thus saith the Lord, in an acceptable time have I hard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages" which means he hears us but on his time. And lastly, 1 Peter 5:6 says, "Humble youreslves therefore under the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due time" if we humble ourselves to God he will exalt us, but we have to wait on his time, not on our own time. The thing is, when we pray to God, he WILL answer us, we just have to wait on his time, because he'll answer us when it is best for us, even if we dont always think so. Good things come to those who wait :]] sometimes its hard to wait on his time, i know its been hard for me many times when i've wanted something right away and i've had to wait, but everything was all the better when i did wait, and you realize Gods time is ALWAYS the best time!
i love y`all!
God Bless!
