Dominoes

John answered, "A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven."
 -John 3.27

So, even though my soul may desire something specific to happen, I remind myself that what I have now is a gift, but God has the perfect timing for everything, and if it is meant to be, God will provide the opportunity. It will be at a place where it is obvious.

Yet that time hasn't come, and another task is at hand. To use this season of life. Don't waste a day. Don't get caught day dreaming about what could be, but instead, praise God daily for what is.

Just like we should not live in the past, we should not try to live in the future either. God is moving pieces into place. The rows of dominoes stacked close. But there are gaps here and there, where God is still at work before it is ready, and if a catalyst begins the domino train, it will stop prematurely at the gap. It won't be able to fulfill its full purpose.

Something good at the wrong time, is the wrong thing. Let that enter your train of thought for a minute or two.

If it's not set-up correctly, the dominoes will not fall into place as they are meant to, and we are back at square one, picking up the pieces. Let God work through you. Stop trying to make everything happen when you want. Let God place the pieces and provide the catalyst to start the dominoes.
