All In God's Timing
All In God's Timing
God’s timing feels off sometimes. It just does.
….even when we try really hard to believe his timing is perfect.
And we feel okay admitting that because it doesn’t mean we don’t trust him. We’re just choosing to be honest about our doubt, and to ask him to help us wait for the provision he has in store for us!
When it gets really hard, we try to reflect back on a time when God’s timing felt super off, but we found that it was actually spot on. Like, is anyone else just really grateful that God didn’t give them the spouse or job they first asked for? (Please tell us it’s not just us!)
He was faithful in his timing then, and we know he’ll prove that to be true again! If you’re with us in this…check out today’s Scripture meditation all about God providing at the proper time.
Practice Makes Progress
Practice Makes Progress
When we’re in difficult situations, it isn’t easy to stay calm or hold our tongues for very long.
But in James 1:19, we learn how we should respond…
Be quick to listen.
Be slow to speak.
Be slow to anger.
The world is more like the opposite:
Be slow to hear what others have to say.
Be quick to voice your own opinions.
Be quick to accuse, argue, and fight.
Why is it so important to James that Christ's followers don’t behave like this? Because “human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” (James 1:20)
So what does produce the right kind of living that God desires?
The Word of God.
James told his friends to “get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.” (James 1:21)
He said that if they have the Word of God in them, and if they are obeying it, they will be blessed. (James 1:25)
James is clear that if we are to be followers of God, we must know His Word and obey it. That means we need to take time to listen to others, pace ourselves when we speak, and keep our anger at bay.
So next time you’re faced with something that makes you angry, take James’ words to heart. Take time to temper your emotions, think through your feelings and arguments, and humbly pray for God to help you respond with kindness and grace.
