God Has a Time For This (Psalm 27:4)

1)      Spare time?

As a retire man like everybody else I have a lot of ‘spare’ time and yet all that time should be and does belong to God.  Spare time is a name we give generally to the time that we want to waste away.

Our attitude must be that all that time is the Lord’s.  Since we gave our lives to him.

2)      God willing

After I read an inspirational devotional in Bear Grylls’s book entitled “Soul Fuel” about “God Willing” I must agree with him that my decisions and plans should only be taken with God in mind as he is willing or not to fulfill them.  (If you remember Bear Grylls as the one in the TV series, “Running Wild with Bear Grylls” on Global TV.)

Our (God’s and my) plans should not be determined by my shortcomings but by his ability to fulfill them.

3)      First things first

If at the very beginning, we put him first we will be securing the best results for our lives and not have to put up with mediocrity.  This is harder for me than anyone as I realizes since I like to get things done and not only done but done my way.  The Lord must change me daily for him to do his way in me.

Deep down in my heart, I want to do what is right and want God to be involved with me all the way. Sometimes I am discouraged and wish things would move a lot faster and that is why he is teaching me right now to wait on Him.  It is challenging!

4)      My heart’s desire translates to this:

 

“I’m asking God for one thing,

Only one thing:

To live with him in his house

My whole life long,

I’ll contemplate his beauty;

I’ll study at his feet” (Psalm 27:4 MSG)

 

I am sure many of you would want a better quality of life and so the only way that it would be possible is if we all let God and let go… After all, he is the Author of Life.
