His Glory, His timing

Sometimes beginings are rocky...LOL. Even when God is at the centre of it and He is leading you. You start with an exciting, idealistic vision and as you go to impliment it AHHH!! things don't exactly pan out as you wish they would. Even when God gives you the vision.....look at Abraham: God gave him a promise and a vision, a pretty specific one too. Read up on Abraham and Sarah: Genesis 15-21. God told Abraham that he would be the father of nations through a child of his own flesh, but he remained childless untill he was 100 years: talk about a rocky start. God had put Joseph into a priveledged wealthy family, he had promise and success, yet he was sold as a slave and remained falsely accused in jail for over a decade...not exactly the place to start out your ambious early young adulthood. In all of these situations God KNEW what He was doing....the people living the situations though, had no idea what exactly was going to happen. Some trusted God at HIS WORD and some took matters into their own hands. I see it like this, when theres a red light, that means stop whether its a long or short red light it means stop. Some people after a bit of time will just go through....just because it took longer doesent mean that its right to go. In fact you break the law, and that can have pretty huge consequences. Same with God. He loves us, He is straight up in His word with us and He desires to lead, guide, speak and do things in and through you that WILL draw you into deeper relationship with Him and change the world....but its all about HIM. Nothing can be about us, and when that happens there are some huge consequences.
Some days I feel like God has called me to some pretty overwhelming things....business owner, girlfriend, daughter, friend, woman of God. Whatever specific dream or vison God has given you get ready to live it out fully. In Him you will do it. In His timing. It most likely will not look the way you hope or think or feel it should....it will be harder, but better. So don't be discouraged, rather take up the Word and continue to immurse yourself in it. Never stop asking God to immurse you in Himself.
God has called YOU to His presence. He has also called you to many wonderful things....sometimes though it takes time, sweat, tears and even "failure" in order for that dream to come through. Bottom line is He Knows. He knows the outcome of all the things that are yet before you....so this new year, know Him more, trust Him and LIVE FULLY! He will do it in you, by His power, His timing and for His glory*
