Bible Verse for May 17th.

If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.

Habakuk 2:3
NLT Bible


It is said that wisdom comes with age and I do believe that this is quite true. When I was younger I would always be anxious waiting for an answer to some need in my life. I would plead with God to answer and to solve the problem. When the answer didn't come when I felt it should have, I would get discouraged and wonder why God wasn't answering. In retrospect, I realize this was the wrong attitude because when the answer finally came, it was just at the right time. It was God's perfect timing and everything fell into place.

Problems are a part of life, but the key to dealing with them is simply to give them to God in total surrender to His will, trusting Him to work it out at just the perfect time. It is important to wait for God's guidance in dealing with situations because I have found that when we get tired of waiting to hear from God and deal with a situation on our own, things fall apart. While waiting, it is important to constantly affirm that God is in control working things out on our behalf. We just need to keep trusting and believing that the answer will come right on time.......in God's perfect time.

Thank you Lord for Your perfect timing. Help me not be become impatient while I wait for You to answer me. I know that Your answer to my concerns is never late, but always right on time. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
