I don’t know about you, but I’m an actions first guy. What does that mean… it means I’m a big dreamer. Being a creative person I visualize things in my mind, I design logos, flyers, t-shirts & I’m all ready to go! I get really proud of all I’ve accomplished & want to show it all off. It’s real easy for me to plan it all out & want to get started NOW & then let God eventually catch up. That’s not how it works though.
As people we tend to be impatient & want to rush into things, especially when doing things for the kingdom & expect them to be blessed & fruitful. Our thought process is “if it’s for God, then it’s fine if I just do it”, but we don’t take the time to pray or seek wisdom & direction.
1st Peter 5.6 tells us “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,”. In other words we need to WAIT. Wait on God to move at the proper time, which is His time.
Nothing wrong with praying, planning & preparing, but we must wait on God to move so that we can move at His time & our works can be blessed…
