39Today’s Gem

Are you so caught up in the “what-ifs” of the future that you are missing the beauty and the blessing of the “right now”? Nothing about your life as a believer is an accident. God has a reason for requiring your patience. I Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” This is the season of trusting and obeying God. If you are willing to be at peace with the pace of God in your life, He is willing to give you His very best for your life. God’s sovereign will is always meant for your good and for His glory. Proverbs 3:5–6 admonishes us “to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not to your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.” The moment you find contentment with where you are is the moment of your release into God’s “next” for your life.
