Psalms 103:17 (MSG)
GOD’s love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, Making everything right for them and their children.
A friend of mine posted the meme “When it’s not God’s timing you can’t force it. When it is God’s timing you can’t stop it!” Then I read today’s verse, Psalms 103:17 in the Message bible, “GOD’s love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, Making everything right for them and their children.” Something clicked in my brain!
We often get caught up in blessings. We are all guilty of expecting a “genie in the bottle” kind of God from time to time. We pray for something, but we add in our own plan for how the prayer should be answered. Face it, we come from a Burger King kind of world, “Have it your way.” I have a sneaky suspicion God giggles at us sometimes when we pray that way.
I know I have looked at people of done things and just wanted to ask, “When did you think that was going to be a good idea.” I have also looked at my own children and said words like, “Now that that didn’t work, shall we try it my way?” Believe it or not, God did make us curious people and part of that whole free-will thing is letting us try things and screw up. We also serve a God who loves us enough to dust us off and help us make everything right. Maybe one of these days I will learn to not try to force things in my way and time. Maybe. . . LOL!
Lord, I am sorry for trying to have it all my way. I am learning to trust Your judgment and let things go. ~amen
