Are you waiting for something? Have you heard and read so many times to wait patiently, that God's timing is perfect? Sometimes it's so difficult to believe, isn't it? That He hasn't forgotten you? That He really is working out all things for your good? Try to imagine it this way, God transcends time. He is not governed by it. The end is as clear to Him as the beginning. He reads each moment as a whole and not as segments or a succession of time slots, as we do. He is and He always was. Your life to Him is one moment and yet He's to intimately involved with you every second. This is so hard for us to fathom but, since He is not bound by time, nor by "hindsight", your prayer is as much a part of your future as it is your past. He knows what you need and He's already provided it in the future. We wish we could see it all, as He does, but what we can do is rest in knowing that the prayer is already answered. Our best is already up ahead of us; we are trapped in time. Praise God that His love has already saved and provided for our future. Rest in this today.Thursday, November 18, 2010
Trapped In Time

Momma,
Your photograph is beau-utiful! Amazing lighting. Ah, the sun!
Have a godful day!
As much a part of our past as our future -- you sound like C.S. Lewis.
Mind boggling, isn't it?!
Oh, and I totally agree with Meghan about the photo. You talk like an artist, Meghan.
Our time is not God's time. His timing is PERFECT. Our guest pastor said last Sunday evening, "God is not slow, He's sure".
