“Stay Calm & Be Confident Giving God Time to Work”
FOCUS
Timing…….order………..everything…&………………………..is. That is to say, timing & order is everything :-) …
Today we learn from the story of the parting of the Red Sea found in Exodus 14 that staying calm & being confident while giving God time to work is a key to sanity & success in our relationship with God. Calmness & confidence are very much related to one another & we need to embrace them together. Which one comes first? They both do :-) …
Trusting God’s Timing …
1. happens best by staying calm & being confident in Him.
Anxiety & agitation short-circuit the ability to patiently & peacefully trust God.
Exodus 14:13-14 / Romans 12:19
2. always works out for the best.
God seems never to be in a hurry, but, of course, He can & sometimes
does move quickly at just the right time & in just the right way.
John 11:1-44 (note v53) / Hebrews 1:1-2
Making It Real
1] How often & to what degree do you struggle with this?
2] What are some mileposts in your past where you found this to be true?
Action Step
Share with a trusted friend some situation in your life in which you’re struggling
to trust God’s timing. Pray together for Him to give you confidence & peace.
