19. God knows best

Last week we learned that God still speaks through dreams with us. He speaks to us in various ways, but dreams are one of the ways that He does. Once you dream something that you vividly remember in detail, spend some time with God and ask Him for the interpretation or to send someone who can interpret the dream for you.

God sent Joseph to interpret Pharaoh's dream. And He sent Joseph right on time, so that the Egyptians can start making the right preparations for what lies ahead:

"And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass." Genesis 41:32

These seven years of prosperity, followed by seven years of famine was established by God and was about to unfold. God sent Joseph at just the right time and He gave him the wisdom and knowhow to handle these coming events.

The same is true of us today. God will send the right thing at the right time in our lives and when He establishes it, He will lead us and help us through it. Many times we wait years for certain things to happen. God has given promises to me that hasn't come to pass, and it has been years, but I know that I know, once the timing is right and God establishes it to be so, nothing and no one will stand in His way.

The problem is the waiting part. It is so difficult for us to wait for something, and in our fast foods era it becomes increasingly difficult. We want things to happen and we want it to happen now. Unfortunately for us, God doesn't work that way. He knows the perfect timing and He knows when everything will work out perfectly for us. Not a day before. It is very difficult, I know, but one thing that I have learned throughout the years as well as by studying the Bible, if you try and force something to happen before the appointed time, you saddle yourself up with a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Things won't work out as you would want it to, everything will be a struggle and difficult to do. You will also encounter a lot of heartache and pain that was better left behind. People, who force things to happen out of its timing, are usually so frustrated and angry with themselves that they did. They realize too late that the waiting room actually looked very attractive to them now. Do not make the same mistake.

Wait patiently for God's perfect timing. He knows what is best for you and exactly when it is best for you and not only you, but those around you. Remember always, it is not only about you, but about all the people in His Kingdom. God views everything in a totally different light than we do, He looks at the bigger picture and He has a plan for all and He knows where everything will slot in. All glory to Him!! We simply need to trust and believe. We must pray, do what we can do, and leave the rest to Him. We must do our responsibility and what God has placed on our plates for the day and then we must give over and wait for Him to lead us. He knows best! The wait will be worth it, over and over again. For then things will work out as it should and you will definitely reap the benefits.

Just to end off - A Whatsapp image of a friend of mine:

Everything comes to you in the right moment, be patient, be grateful.

Thank you Father that our lives are within Your hands. We trust You with it. Help us to wait with a good attitude. You know best. Amen
