Why the Rush?

 I wanted to write and share what God is speaking to me. I've been doing a lot of growing up lately. One of the ways God is making me grow up is in making me realize that I shouldn't rush Him. I know a specific area in which I myself know that I'm trying to force the Hand of God to make it happen, but I hear God saying to slow down. As a child of God, we are to know that God only wants the best for us and sometime in order to give us the best, we might just have to wait.  He said

" I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, " plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future"- Jeremiah 29:11

"For the Lord is our sun and shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right"- Psalm 84:11

God knows what we want, but He also knows what we need and there's a big difference in the two. Imagine a man complaining about his lack of a fancy smartphone to God but in the process of his complaints, God reminds him that He woke him up that morning, got him to work safely, gave him strength to work, and then brought him home safely.....none of the things the man prayed for, but all of the things that the man NEEDED. When it comes to God, I am learning that God prioritizes our needs. He will give you want you need, and we should thank Him for the times He gives us our wants. This simple concept is revealed in the Lord's Prayer. 

"Our Father, Who art in Heaven. Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. GIVE US THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD"- Matt 6:9-11

Jesus prayed for God to provided our DAILY need, THIS DAY. God did not intend for us to be in a hurry but to daily rely on Him, trusting that He will provide each need as we face them. I did not intend to blog tonight but in the middle of studying now, while also thinking about a lot of things, God placed all of this on my heart to give me peace. As I write this, God is ministering to my own spirit. So today, right now, in this very moment, I let go of all my concerns about tomorrow, about school, family, about future relationship,finances,  health, friendship.....everything. I let go of my desire to make things happen, by fire by force. I release my wants and self-will, trusting that God will supply my needs. No longer will I succumb to the fears of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, so help me God. If it's God's Will, it will happen. My job is to trust, wholeheartedly in what He has promised and worship Him in the waiting period. When I ask, I will ask with thanksgiving, knowing that whatever the outcome is, whether I like it or not, God is to be praised. That's where I am now. I pray that we all grow to realize that there's a season for everything. If it's not yours now, it doesn't mean it will never be your season. It just means its not now for it will surely come. Let's slow down and enjoy this moment, this day, thanking God for the NOW MOMENTS, the gift of the PRESENT. Let us all let go, and let God perfect that which concerns us. Amen. It is Well.
