Need to remember this!

The last couple of days GOD has been CONSISTENTLY reminding me of his faithfulness, sovereignty, grace, love, and that HE desires to give us the desires of our heart! HE IS A GOOD GOD INDEED, and I LOVE walking in the Spirit and seeing and hearing Him speak to me so tenderly and lovingly. Right before I came across this via an email, I got a letter from Charles Stanley's ministry and it was ALL about trusting HIM to do what is of His character, and to REST IN HIM. http://www.intouch.org/atf/cf/%7B7048F59B-0DA1-4C33-B958-6A013BEDB8A7%7D/Feb10MiniLetterWEB.pdf

This is all in addition to amazing Scripture verses He has shown me lately, and the song yesterday in worship "It is well with my soul." GOD IS SO AWESOME AND MY WORDS CAN NOT ADEQUATELY EXPRESS WHAT IS ON MY HEART!I just needed to blog this b/c I so often need these reminders but I am amazed at how He has been reminding me the past few days, in many different forms!

Perfect Timing

As for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in Your hand. — Psalm 31:14–15

Do you have trouble resting in the fact that God is in control and that he knows the times and seasons in your life? Think twice before you are tempted to worry or force life to move at your pace. God moves according to his sovereignty, not according to our timetable, and peace will come only when you learn to trust his timing in every area of your life.

Resist the urge to constantly ask questions like, “When is Mr. Right going to come along?” or “When will I get the promotion I deserve?” or “What will happen if my biological clock runs out before I get pregnant?” When you grasp the truth that when he moves it will be according to his perfect plan, it makes a huge difference.

God is the God of all times, and to know him is to know faithfulness itself. He has the big picture in mind, and he knows the plans he has for you. Your times are safe in his hand. There is no need to be anxious about when God is going to answer your prayer or move on your behalf. You can relax in the certainty that his ways and his timing are perfect.
