We serve a progressive God who has always worked in systems and processes. Yet we live in a world of speed, instant gratification, and constant pressure to “hurry up.” But faster is not always mastery; moving at your own God-given pace is!
We’ve been programmed to believe that if we don’t get what we want at the exact time we want it, something must be wrong.Much of our stress comes from not having things done our way and in our time. But God is not a magician, and neither is He a robot.
If we are going to experience true joy and fulfillment, we must learn CONTENTMENT. Life is a journey, not a sprint; a relay not a marathon. Each of us is running our own race, fulfilling a unique mandate from God. Thus, comparing your cycle or season to someone else’s will only lead to discouragement.
When you embrace your purpose, you begin to see that God has already mapped out a strategy for your life, governed by systems, structures and seasons. There is grace allotted just for you to carry you through life’s huddles.
Hence, just because something hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it will never happen. It simply may not be God’s time for you. The good news is : God is Always on Time!
Since God lives in Eternity, He sees the past, present and future simultaneously and as a Mastermind, has orchestrated everything to work in sync to fulfill His purpose for your life. So what may seem as delays by human’s standard, may actually be preparation grounds for you to excel in the next phase of your process of becoming.
Hence, adjusting your attitude to respecting God’s sovereignty maybe the freedom you need today to allow you to surrender. With God’s help, you will be set free from the exhausting rat race of life when you learn to appreciate every given moment.
Take time to be Present in Life, savoring every moment, no matter what is currently going on. Take time to smell the roses, grieve, heal, and experience LIFE, one moment at a time.

Have an awesome week!
