Preparation

God uses our experiences in life as stepping stones to prepare us for what He has in store next. Scripture tells us that He’ll even take things the enemy tries to bring against us and turn them around to use them for our good. He is always leading us on a journey of preparation.

That’s why it’s so important to keep our eyes focused on Him. The bible says, “A person’s heart plans their way, but the Lord directs their steps.” We have to trust that when we’re submitted to God – even if we don’t understand at the moment – He is ordering our steps.

If something is not happening on your timetable, remind yourself that God knows what He is doing. He has your best interest at heart. He is preparing you to be able to handle the greater position He’s lining up for you. While you’re waiting, don’t make the mistake of trying to figure everything out. If you’re constantly trying to figure things out, that will only frustrate you.

Turn it all over to God. Declare, “God, my times are in Your hands. I’m not going to worry because I trust that You are leading me on a journey of preparation for new levels of blessing.” Learn to commit to this and your peace will increase; you’ll be able to better appreciate and hold onto the great things God has in store for you.
