My Times and Seasons
There is a time for this and a time for that. Everything needs to be
accomplished in it's appropriate timing. A time to be born and a time
to die. A time of waiting and a time of fulfillment. A season of
planting and a season of reaping.
I wish for you to walk in the fullness of My calling and promises for
your life.That is why it is important that you remain in My timing. When
you plant a seed but a few days afterwards dig it up again and leave it
in the sun, the seed will die because it does not have the moist ground
to protect and nourish it. A plant that is not ready to yield it's fruit
can't be forced to do so nor can a woman be commanded to give birth
before she has conceived.
So it is with My plans for you. My hand can't be forced nor will it
accomplish anything to try to speed My timing when it is not in My
mind to bring it about sooner. I do not wish for you to miss out on
things that can only be achieved through waiting and enduring before
Me. It is essential that you trust Me with the timing of the fulfillment
of My promises. It is only then that I will be able to fully accomplish
everything I plan on bringing forth in your life. Be patient and wait on
Me with the expectation that what I have promised will come forth.
It will come forth if you look to Me for the timing and fulfillment.
The enemy urges you "Hurry, hurry," but I say "wait." He whispers into
your ear "You are going to miss out." But I say "You are being prepared
for something far greater than your own imagination can fathom up." Is
not your time in My hands? I can pack into one year what normally would
require three or even five years.
So, keep your eyes fixed on Me, the author and perfecter of your faith,
and know that I am not one who forgets. I am not one who abandons. I
remember those who are Mine. At the right time in the right season I will
shoot you forth as one of My arrows. You will look back and see all that
needed to be accomplished during the time of waiting and you will
understand.
However, for now, rest in Me and in the assurance that I will bring to
completion what I have started. Choose today to surrender to Me even your
expectation of what is and what is not appropriate timing in your life
so that your soul can find rest and receive My peace.
