Trust God to Get You There

​Sometimes you must trust God through the tears.  Trusting God when you don’t fully understand what He is doing and why He is allowing things to occur can be frustrating and fear invoking.  The word says in Isaiah 55:8, "My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.” While God is concerned about what’s happening for you in the moment, He’s also just as concerned with what is coming in your life, who you will affect, and so much more. 
​
I told someone once that God is like an air traffic controller -- He sees you and all people around you – You land too soon and you may delay someone else.  You move too late and someone connected to you may miss their victory.  God knows exactly where you need to be and when you need to be there.  He knows when and why we need to be delayed (or leave sooner) and His timing is perfect. God’s timing is never “off” and He knows exactly what He is doing. 

I received a greater revelation of this just the other day.  While trying to leave for work my normal way, I was delayed by someone else’s timetable and I thought for certain I was going to be late and miss my connections.  The Lord spoke clearly to me and said “trust me,” and while I heard Him say that I was just annoyed and did not want to miss my connection.  I pressed through and did what He led me to do – go to a different station to pick up my connection – and when I arrived I was right on time.  The moral of the story is that sometimes you will be delayed getting where you need to go.  Sometimes you will find yourself wondering why you are late when you started out your journey early.  Know this, if you trust God’s timing even when it seems off, you will get to where you need to go right on time.
