Immanuel Lutheran Church & School

I was doing my personal devotion today, and became convicted in the Spirit.  I was reminded that God’s vision and plan is not always ours.  Nor is God’s timing and plan ours.  My wife and I have spent the last year and a half trying to sell our condo.  And constantly we pray that God would bring the buyer who is perfect for that home…and yet I continue to get frustrated that it is not happening soon enough.  I am reminded that our prayer is that God will bring them when the timing is perfect.  God’s vision is one that is for our best interest and His glory, with that in mind, we sit back and wait patiently for His vision to be revealed and brought to reality in our lives. 

The devotion that I was reading used this analogy, we are the bow, God is the Archer, and His arrow will go right were He is aiming.  As He gets ready to release His love…we say now Lord, now Lord, now…but He will release the arrow when it is perfect for the target that He has in mind.

Wait in the Lord and be amazed by His vision.
