In His Time
"I praise you...that when your time is ripe..."
(Ruth Myers, "31 Days of Praise" Day 6, p50)
PRAISE REPORT!
"I have learned to rely on God's timing in new ways. A very difficult decision faced me, and I gave it to the Lord, praying every day, and even taking up a season of spiritual fasting for the first time. My relationship with the Lord became deliberate, intentional, interactive, and humble. By knowing that I was seeking an answer from the Lord in obedience, I knew that I didn't have to worry, and my decision-making process was peaceful, despite it being a major trial.
When the time to decide arrived, I knew that no matter what I chose was going to be right, for it was based on my time spent in prayer, fasting, and the Word, turning everything over to the Lord's wise council. I had faith in my decision because I had faith in God's renewal of my mind. Miraculously, people who has been giving me a hard time about what and how I should choose were at peace with my choice, even though it wasn't what they wanted for me, because they saw and understood how obedient I had been to the Lord throughout my process. So my obedience and reliance on the Lord not only strengthened my faith in Him, and in my own abilities to discern, but strengthened other's faith in me, through the working of the Holy Spirit in our midst and in our minds. Praise God for His promise that when we seek, we will find, and when we ask, we shall receive!"
