Why Now? Why Not Sooner?
That has been a question that has been asked of me lately!
Why the changes that are happening now, why not sooner and my answer has been I don’t know! I do know that God’s timing is not our timing and that He will fulfill the promises to us in His own time.
I have asked the Lord, why didn’t I change ten years ago, five years ago, why have I had to go through the things that I have been going through for the last sixteen months? Why couldn’t I have the same passion, same hunger, same desires for the Lord back then, that I have now?
Again, Gods time is not our time but the thing is, I am where I am suppose to be, I am in the place where the Lord wants me, in a place where He can change me, mold me, make me into what He has purposed for my life because I am in a place that I have to be totally and completely dependent upon Him. I am in a place of restoration, of rebuilding, of being shaped into the tool that the Lord can use.
Out of the fire, out of the dealings is coming a fulfillment of all that the Lord has spoken to me, a new hunger, a consuming passion for His word, His presence, a place where I can share out of that which has been made real in my life! No longer theory but reality and that is an awesome place and it is the place that the Lord wants us as His people, a place of useability. I am in a place where all my Hope is in the Lord, for He is bringing in me the restoration and the healing that is needed.
As my pastor has said, “Why not now!” I agree, why not now!
Till tomorrow!
Paul
