‘It is not very often that we are on the same timing as God. He has the perfect solution to every problem and the ultimate outcome to the perfect life. If we would just get out of his way. All too often we offer up a solution to a problem. Let me handle this, or God you should do this. I can just see him laughing at all our silly solutions.

I like to think about it as having this awesome hamburger. Although it might be juicy and cooked just right. God has this prime cut of steak grilled to perfection just ready for us if we would just be patient. Taking a deep breath and sitting in the passenger’s seat, while God takes the steering wheel isn’t easy. It’s ok God’s got this. If you take a step back and ask God to guide you, he will.

However, listening and acting on his timing takes a lot of work and prayer. I know that I am still working on this every day. Some things that I like to do is pray all the time. When I’m unsure or even when things are going great. I pray. Thank God for your struggles. He is helping you grow and learn.

In our society, we have so many things that can fill up our everyday lives. A lot of them can be wonderful and we really enjoy doing them every day, some not so much. If at all possible take a few minutes every day to spend with God in his word. I find that if I miss this step for too many days in a row, I start to lose control. In my actions and situations or even with my emotions and attitude.

Having that one-on-one time with God and in his word is so beneficial to everyone. The easiest time to do this is first thing in the morning, or right before bed. If you are on the road you might have a break that you need to take, or at lunch. Find a quiet place where you can focus. Like I said this doesn’t have to be a long time.

A couple of verses or a chapter might be all you need to get you moving in the right direction. If you feel like you need a little more, then listen to that and dig a little deeper.

Don’t fight to make everything come out just right. God’s timing is always so much better if we can just listen and be patient. Faith in God includes faith in his timing.
