My impatience is daunting today. I love my life but I am impatient with its progress - I'm READY for things to start happening - I'm READY to move forward - I'm READY for the promises God has made. All of which takes obedience, discipline, and courage.... and time... and I am not a fan of things taking time. I am Mrs. Right Now!! If it were not for Microwaves, I would live on cereal!!
When things don't happen quickly I begin to doubt, I begin to worry, I begin to take charge and I don't let God continue to do his divine work - Even when I know his ways are far better than my own!
We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!
--Romans 5:3-5
Today, Heavenly Father, I embrace your timing as my own. Today I place my faith in the divine wisdom that unfolds the seasons each at its proper time. I am a verdant field in the care of your mighty hand. I allow myself to be nurtured by Your Divine providence at the proper tempo for my perfect blossoming.
