It’s ironic to me that I assume God knows what He’s doing in all matters of history and life…except in mine. I remind my friends who are upset about little things that God has perfect timing and is completely sovereign and knows their needs inside and out, and then I completely forget it when it comes to my own life. I forget so easily that He is in control.
So often I think my temptation is to take back control, because I don’t believe that He really is good and has good plans. I just want PROGRESS and I want to see it now. I want to not be who I am and for some reason I think the quickest way to get there is to take it into my own hands.
That’s why days like today are such beautiful glimpses into God’s working. They are days when He oh so gently whispers “Hey…I’m working in you. Don’t think that I’ve stopped. Just trust.” Today I was reminded that He hasn’t forgotten about me, and that trusting Him is still my best plan. He is faithful to develop me into who He wants me to be.
It’s not always as fast as I want it to be, and it’s not always in the areas I think it should be in, but from glory to glory he is transforming me. He doesn’t want to leave me where I am…and He will continually be faithful to work in me.
What great hope is this…what a great God this is…
