Some years ago I was faced with a dilemma. A certain situation went bad and called for us to make a difficult decision.
As the day drew closer , the need to make a call was pressing. For three days and nights, all we could talk about was this decision, it’s implications, the repercussions, the probable backlash. It was a rock and a hard place.
A day before what would have been d-day, we found ourselves in a certain meeting. This meeting had been postponed numerous times but finally happened that day. It was unrelated to the dilema.
Conversations from this meeting unexpectedly brought a solution to our difficult situation. Everything was solved instantly. I simply could not believe it.
This meeting became a situation of being at the right place at right time. No effort, no begging, no drama.
The realization was; we wasted valuable time, playing scenarios and trying to divise our own solution, according to our own understanding. That time could have been used to sleep, play, rest, pray or even write a song!! It was wasted worring yet God had a solution standing all along, we just did not know.
This is why the Bible says “Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding”….our understanding is limited!
Time is more valuable than money, because once it’s gone you can not get a replacement. You can always work harder and get more money but you can not work hard to retrieve lost time.
I regretted relying on people and “connections” and not putting my whole trust in God in this. It was a huge lesson, God is Sovereign, there is nothing too hard for Him. He calls us to cast our cares on Him, and He will sustain us.
Do not worry, rather use the time to cast your cares on Him!
Song of the day: I will Trust You (Reprise)
Speak soon 💕
