God’s Perfect Timing .
Exodus 5:23

For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he has done evil to this people, and thou hast not delivered thy people at all."

I had not planned to post a devotion this morning. God, of course, knew better and I’m sure has quite a wry smile on his face this morning! You see, I broke my glasses a couple of days ago, so have been borrowing my husband’s reading/magnifying glasses--which I left at work last night! I knew that this was not a coincidence, as I have been avoiding something and I suppose God decided to take matters completely out of my control. I really don’t like it when he does that, do you?!

I am able to read a large enough print though with some blurriness without any glasses. Reading my bible was out of the question, so I checked my on-line subscriptions and the status of an on-going e-mail conversation with a friend. And God was waiting for me with a lesson from Moses. The lesson I read was from tgifmarketplaceleaders.org. It’s an organization that supports those who work “in the world” as they strive to remain true to their Christian faith. Today’s lesson is about our questioning God’s timing.

I’ve been doing that quite a bit lately. I’m not so brave as to call out to God as Moses did, but I’ve sure been on the same wavelength. “How much longer, God?” And I’ve many times wondered what God could possibly be trying to teach me by prolonging a situation that is causing me a tremendous level of stress at work! This morning I am reminded, once again, that I have no right whatsoever to ask the creator of time itself, how he intends to dispense his lessons. None.

So today I am going to try very had to just rest in Him. To let the lesson unfold as God has planned. To breathe. To raise a silent prayer of thanks to my God for caring enough to even bother with me. To rejoice that I am one of His beloved.

My prayer for you today is that you allow God to work in your life. And that you yield always to His perfect timing.
