Timing


This morning began early with our 2nd Merge business leaders bible study! There were over 70 here again this AM - it was awesome!

We talked about the timing in Mose's life and also the importance of timing in our lives. Our biggest struggle many times in our journey is when God's timing does not line up with ours....do you ever struggle with that....do you ever want to manufacture the right timing and then ask God to bless it later!

Moses jumped out at the age of 40 and killed an egyptian who was beating a hebrew slave (great move - wrong time)....Moses wasn't ready to lead the people out and the people were not ready to go! The timing wasn't right and Moses wasn't right either. He then spent the next 40 years probably thinking he had missed his shot but in reality God was preparing him for his next shot!

I think He does the same thing in our lives - the key is knowing that if God says NO now, it does not mean it is a no forever. Maybe there is still work that needs to be done in us before we are ready to move!

Hard to swallow....Yes
Can we trust God in the middle of our waiting....Yes!
Is God ever late or tardy? No way - His timing is always right!!
