All in Time

"He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." - Ecclesiastes 3:11(KJV).
We all love the fastest route to a destination and won’t mind cutting corners to get there faster. We are constantly in search for a faster way to make more money; a quicker way to yield a greater output; a swifter route to get to my destination; a speedier way to become a landlord; the quickest way to finish school and all that. Yet, we seem not to remember that there is also beauty in patience.

Sometimes some things may require proper planning, careful preparations and step by step procedures. Time can be so long but yet also so short but walking in grace, having faith and believing makes a difference. There is joy in working towards something and playing your part. Just like a planted seed that doesn’t shoot  out of the ground for a while after planting, it’s an ongoing process. Yes the change is there, you just have to see it - can you see it. You might not see it physically, but it has surely begun. Even farmers plant and are expectant of a great harvest. We must know when to take action and when to be patient even when things do not look like they are moving or making much difference.

We at times just need to see it differently. Stop, take a moment and look at the bigger picture. Taking time to plan your day might make a difference, Taking time to say a little prayer for loved ones, even taking time to help the old lady cross the road, taking time to plant a seed of Love will grow with time. Time spent is very precious and can’t be gotten back. So does it mean we should be slow about everything? No...It doesn’t. Walk in grace and have faith. That will make a difference. Make plans. Prepare. Dream big ... You are going places

Nugget: What do I do while I patiently wait? I will add value to myself
Remember… To wait patiently means I will wait and will not be mind how long.
Job 14.14; Ps. 37.7
