Turning it over to God often involves waiting on His timing. We’re not supposed to understand God’s timing and it behooves us not to keep taking it back and trying to do it all ourselves. Try: Pray, Wait, Trust. God has our back! His timing is not our timing, but it is perfect. Look back on some of the things God has done for you and I doubt, in retrospect, you will question His timing. Perhaps His will for you involves learning patience. While you wait on the Lord, remember His words from John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Peace, John
I invite you to become a guest blogger. It’s easy -> find a quote that speaks to you and write a few sentences about it and what it means to you, or what it means in general. Send it all to me in an email with subject line reading “Guest blogger.” I will review and publish it, with gratitude, and with the hope that others will benefit from it as well. If you need some help, I can furnish you with a quote or several to pick from – I have hundreds of them. Let me know. Peace, John
Learn to check yourself and whether you are consistent. Learn also to be aware of others and whether they are congruent i.e. whether their words and behaviors are consistent. Within ourselves, when this occurs, we create what we call “cognitive dissonance.” We naturally don’t like being incongruent, so there is internal pressure to reduce the incongruence. We do this by either changing our words or our actions. This can be either healthier or sicker. Try not to get caught up in others’ mixed messages. When in doubt, I tend to trust the behavior rather than the verbiage. Peace, John
