There we were driving home when
my late husband said to me “pack your bag, as we’re going away for the weekend.” Of course, I respond with “where are we
going?” He goes “Philadelphia.” I continue my response with “Philadelphia,
what’s in Philadelphia?" He says, “You’ll
see.” We came home and I packed a bag
but still in suspense.
Now here we were in Philadelphia, checking into the hotel. I am still at this point not knowing why we are here. Being inpatient with my questioning, my late husband states “when the time is right, I will let you know.” That is exactly what happened. We had a nice date day at a restaurant but when the evening came, he then told me we were going to see Boney James, our favorite jazz artist. Now my suspense turned into excitement. When the time was right, I got my answer to why we did this trip to Philly.
That’s just how we are with Abba,
aren’t we? We all have those moments
with God when we want to know the why or the details of something new. We can even display impatience with Him, as
He just doesn’t seem to be answering when we want Him to or on our timetable. Then Abba in his mercy opened my eyes to this
revelation.
Romans 5:6 (NLT)
When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.
Did you catch it? At the right time. My eyes were open to see even his plan to die on the cross for you and I had to happen at the right time. Selah
So, if you are in a season like me, waiting on the Lord to show you the next chapter and all you’ve been hearing is some crickets 😊 Remember at the right time he showed his love by dying on the cross for us. So, at the right time He will reveal to us what we are waiting on Him for. In the meantime, enjoy being in Him until that right time comes.
Be encouraged.
