Time is a Trainer

As I was doing my devotion this morning, I was reminded that God is in control all the time for all the right reasons. Sometimes He makes us wait to train us towards the following:

Obedience

Reliance

To find strength in Him

To get over ourself

Peace

God does not want our focus to be on worry, but on Him. Instead of worry, we need to look towards opportunity. Instead of stress, we need to focus on the glorious things He will do for the situation.

I want to control things so much, that I don't give God the time to do what He wants to do. I know I can not control God, but it is so hard at times to fully understand that He is always in control over all circumstances!

Ephesians 3:20-21 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
