Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Timing can be everything. Well, maybe not everything, but an important thing. God's plan and power provide us with everything. Finding God's timing and power for his plan is crucial. When Moses took it upon himself to redeem God's people before God called him to do so, Moses failed. After being humbled in the wilderness for forty years, God then called Moses back to deliver the people of Israel at God's divine moment and according to the Almighty's plan. The results led to the Exodus - the redemption and rebirth of God's holy people from Egyptian bondage. Let's pray for wisdom to understand God's timing so we can live out our lives for his purpose, according to his plan, and based on his power.

My Prayer...

Dear Heavenly Father, I am often impatient and frustrated by having to wait. Please forgive me, dear God, for trying to rush your timetable and assuming my plan is yours. Please give me Spirit-led wisdom to know what to do, where to go, and when to act. In Jesus' name, I pray for this patience and understanding. Amen.
