Humbly calling on God for direction does not guarantee that we will see His guidance immediately. But in His own time, our Father will make known the path we are to take. Although seemingly impossible circumstances may be blocking the way, they are part of His plan. They fit into His perfect timing.
Writing about God’s sure guidance, British pastor Frank W. Boreham recounted a time when a minister visited his home in New Zealand. Being young and inexperienced, Boreham sought the counsel of his guest. He said that one morning they were sitting on the veranda, looking out over the golden plains to the purple, sunlit mountains. he asked the minister, “Can a man be sure that in the hour of perplexity he will be rightly led by God? Can he feel secure against making a false step?” “I am certain of it,” exclaimed the minister, “if he will but give God time! As long as you live, remember that. Give God time!”
Are you puzzled about the way God is leading you? Are you uncertain about the next step to take? Are you growing impatient because you lack clear direction? Remember Abraham! Didn’t God fulfill His promise to give him a son?
Friend, the Lord’s timing is best. He knows what He is doing. His ways are perfect. Give God time! – Paul R. Van Gorder
He leadeth me! Oh, blessed thought!
Oh, words with heavenly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be,
Still ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me. – Gilmore
God is never in a hurry but He’s always on time.
