Timing is Everything

Change is difficult. Moving forward is hard, especially when the way we've always done it is good. Obviously, that is an opinion often held by people who are comfortable with things as they were/are. An opinion that so very hard to overcome because comfortable is easy and change is often painful.

I'm learning that the timing of change is just as important as the change itself. Changing too fast or too early will alienate people. Changing too slow or late may mean we miss opportunities God has set for us.  It's such a delicate balance.

And it is so hard to be patient, looking for any sign or guidance from God as to when to move. Change is a process and we have to learn to be patient through that process, with ears and eyes wide open to hear or see where and when God is leading.

Lord, help us go when you say go and wait when you say not yet. Help us follow you in your perfect timing!

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19
