Sorry, No Time!

Publication date Aug 25, 2023

Do you know, friend, when you have been praying for something for a while and then it actually comes true? You immediately tell your friends, possibly post it on social media, but wait a minute. Have you actually said THANK YOU to God yet? 

Whew, if I'm honest, I catch myself doing that all the time! Just recently, I experienced an amazing answer to prayer and was immediately back into my work, because the project I had been praying for now required me to go full throttle!

I even prayed, "God, You will understand that I don't have that much time. This is going to be really busy now. But You know how extremely grateful I am to You." At that moment I became abruptly and shockingly aware of what was happening!

I had experienced my miracle, but now actually believed that it really needed "me" and "my work" to build up the requested project. 

Right then, I felt as if I could hear God saying directly, "Don't you know that I can give you time? I can decide how fast your time goes. I can speed up the processes or slow them down. But what is important to Me is the communication between you and Me."

"My times are in your hands...." (Psalm 31:15 NIV)

friend, we all have so much to learn in this area. You too are probably under deadlines right now. If so, I want to clap out loud, because you're already doing one thing right: You're taking time as you read or listen to this to let the truth into your life.

And the truth is, your life is a gift from God, and everything that happens today deserves a "Thank You, God."

God longs for a relationship with you. And out of that relationship, He wants to give you gifts, including time! Make time for the One who gives you time!

You are a miracle!
