Living in the Moment: Trust God’s Timing

“The water continued to go down.  By the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains could be seen.”

(Genesis 8:5)

You are a grateful person who sees logic and organization in the way God sets precise timing for each moment of life.

 You do not spend your days lamenting the past, or worrying about the future. Instead, you choose to live in the moment and wait for God’s signal to tell you when the time is right to move forward. 

You can see in nature that seasons change according to God’s plan and perfect timing.  Seasons of dormancy usher in new growth and seasons of harvest give way to times of rest.

By waiting for God’s guidance, you can rest assured that your progress will be sure and steady. There will be times of waiting. There will be times of forward movement. Each step is scheduled for a specific season in your life which has been prearranged by God.

 You do not squander your life away by overwhelming your days with busyness. You enjoy each and every season, knowing that change is constant, and timing is everything.

You observe the stress and pressure on those who view time as an opponent to be overpowered, rather than a friend on which to lean.

You rely heavily on God and His timing to give you guidance and structure. You are relieved that there are times of waiting and preparation because this insures you do not have to take on everything at once.

You realize that some of the seasons of life are like the bitter winds of winter. These days are difficult and hard to endure. Sometimes the waiting is unbearable, but when the time is right, a warm gentle breeze breaks the icy chill and ushers in the colorful array of new growth. 

Therefore, you practice gratitude. You know that is what will get you through the difficult seasons when days are dark and minutes pass like hours.

Even though the waiting may seem endless and harsh, you know that if you wait for God to move first, you will always be in the right place at the right time.
