Me: Prodigal, You are right in the middle!
Prodigal: You would not believe how tough it was to make it up here.
Me: Before you have to get down, let me share.
This comes from the book God’s Generals by Roberts Liardon
We need to understand that God has a central point from which every aspect of our lives operate, whether individually or corporately. That area is called “timing.” From the operation of that one word, lives can move forward with God or be hindered. Nations can advance spiritually, or regress. Life in the spirit realm has a timing to it just as life in the natural. Therefore, it is vitally important for us to follow the leading of our spirit. We must learn that it’s not always right to move into action because it seems like the thing to do. This kind of obedience only comes from seasons of prayer and intercession.
With so many voices clamoring to be heard in the word, it is ever so important that we remain obedient to God’s timing in all things. Most of the time things tend to take longer than I want them too because there is both a spirt realm and a natural realm. Do not forget in Daniel when he prayed and the angel was hindered for 21 days in delivering an answer to Daniel’s prayer. We are not able to know and understand all but we must be obedient.
Lamentations 3:20
My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
