"If it is God today, it'll be God tomorrow!"
Sometimes in life, we get so excited when part of God's plan and purpose is revealed to us that we can get "trigger happy," so to speak. In other words, we are excited about what God has revealed to us, that we forget that God has a perfect plan BUT He also has the perfect timing. In our excitement, we can run out ahead of the plan and try to fit the plan revealed to us into our own timeframe. That's where we mess up. That's where we move out of the realm of faith.
Faith has brought you this far, why abandon it to chase after a glimpse of something he has shown you?? When God revealed that plan to you, you had faith that it was God and would happen. So, why not have faith in the fact that GOD will orchestrate the perfect timing for that plan and you won't have to force it into happening??
You say, "It's too late. I ran ahead of the plan and tried to make it happen on my own and now I've completely messed everything up!"
Maybe you have messed things up for now, but if it is God today, it will be God tomorrow! In other words, if you know that God revealed certain things to you, even if you seemingly messed them up in this time period, it doesn't mean they're forever messed up. Repent, learn from your errors, and put your hope and trust in God. The Word tells us, "For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]" (Romans 11:29 AMP)
So, just because we mess up in a season, it doesn't mean that those thing are forever lost... Our mistakes may have delayed them for a season, but they're not lost. Just turn to the One who holds your future. Lean on His wisdom and guidance and be obedient in the small steps. You'll find peace, joy, and fulfillment when you allow Him to orchestrate your life and work things out for your good. And when you just trust Him step by step, before you know it you will find yourself standing in the place He revealed to you and you will be amazed at how much better His timing and plan truly is! It'll exceed anything you could ever imagine!!!
God is bigger than your thoughts, plans, and purposes! Trust HIM!
"Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]-- "(Ephesians 3:20 AMP)
Expecting,
JRT
