I am writing this now because I have procrastinated. I hate the feeling of being down to the wire.
I struggle with God’s timing as well.
I have been praying for my trust to build. I need to be content where I am now not where I want to be while working toward the goal God has laid before me. I don’t understand why this is so difficult. I should be grateful for a clear goal. I should be content making progress. Frankly most days I want the end goal to be accomplished and then another goal to work on. My focus goes away from God who gave me the goal. I turn my focus to my timing and my work.
My God given gifts and talents become my idols.
I no longer trust in God to work through me and use me keeping my eye on him.
I rely on myself trying to obtain my goal in my timing through my strength.
2 Corinthians 3: 4-6
“We have this kind of confidence toward God through Christ. It is not that we are competent in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our competence is from God. He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not for the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.”
I am so self-defeating sometimes. Life really doesn’t need to be rushed, controlled, as stressful, as I make it.
God is working through me in his timing for his purpose. I need to be content and trust the process one simple goal at a time.
Prayer for today:
Please God let me get out of your way, work through me. Please let my focus be on you resting in your timing. I am competent through you not in my strength but in yours. In Jesus name, Amen
