Fear of Unknown Timing
Pray and ask God for strength to trust His timing and His plan for your life. Ask Him for peace during the waiting.
Matthew 6:34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
I used to wonder why things didn’t go exactly my way when I wanted them to. There are a lot of things that I currently want and have wanted in the past, that has not come my way yet. God hasn’t given them to me. There are two choices you can make in your life: you can choose to trust God’s “timing” and have peace, or you can live by your own timing and have turmoil. We aren’t capable of planning our lives out. Our brains can only see the present, so we are limited to what we can understand and what we can plan out. God is the only one who can make the plan for our lives and know what to include and what to leave out. Think of our lives as a song. Each song has its own particular notes and lyrics that have their own specific place in the song. When the song is rushed through, it doesn’t sound right, and the line of the song that is most important doesn’t have its desired effect because the lyrics before that weren’t emphasized. Not listening to the whole song, as it’s written, ruins its beauty. The pauses, the timing (speeding up and slowing down) of the music, and the lyrics, all together, make the song beautiful. If you’re wanting just to get to that one awesome place in your life and you’re forsaking the time you have now by waiting to live, hear me clearly: we don’t know how much time we have. If you’re breathing, you need to be living. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come, so that leaves us with today. God doesn’t conduct things by our timing. He’s the Almighty and is completing HIS Plan day by day, assignment by assignment. His Plan for our lives is so much bigger than anything we could imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
What is God saying to me?
We don’t have to be fearful of the days to come. We can live in freedom right now and laugh at the days to come. See Proverbs 31:25 to see what helps us laugh.
Read Matthew 6:10 and commit it to memory.
