His Timing:

     It doesn't have to be fixed  now.

     It feels like it, but that is the flesh's impatient throbbing.

     The Lord never does things as soon as possible in terms of our craving for resolution.  He always works according to the eternal plan, and that means it is done with creativity and in such a manner that His Glory is ultimately revealed.

     The sting of misrepresentation, misunderstanding, back-stabbing and impending loss,  all press on the soul for immediate relief.  He who designed the universe and keeps it in motion by His Mighty Word of Power is on top of each seemingly out-of-control matter you are facing.

     According to God's Word, when we don't know what to do, we either wait or we choose the wisest move and go forward, knowing the Indwelling Holy Spirit is able to direct us.   Either way, we don't take action fueled by of our own need for relief.

     There's an old song, "Just Jesus and Me. . .".  But of course, that isn't true.  We are on this planet with multitudinous other people, and some of the most difficult are Christians. 

     Things often seem out of control.  We see the wrecking ball in motion and we see the structure that is about to receive the blow.  In particular, anxiety soars when we are in the path of destruction.

     Soldier of The Cross,  He uses time to reveal Himself and to teach us how to follow Him.  He has never darted behind a bush, but has always taken the outstretched hand.   He has never covered His ears to keep out the cry for rescue.

     He designed Time.  Brilliantly.  He uses time.  And, His Word tells us over and over that we must learn to let Him decide when.

     We deal with the matter in prayer.  We lay it out before Him in honesty and by the Holy Spirit.   We tell Him we are living sacrifices and we ask that He be revealed and that the enemy be bound.    We make it clear and declare aloud that anything He does and any way He does it is what we want.  We tell Him we stand before Him to receive training.

     Then, there is peace in the storm.  Power to wait.  Power to love.

     Soldier, tell Him.  Today
     Aloud.
