In His Time

For the last five years in my church, our pastor kept saying, “We�re looking to God for something new in our church.” He didn�t know what it was going to be, but he kept believing and saying, “God wants to do something new.”

Year after year went by, but nothing seemed to be happening. In the end, some people got frustrated, and said, �Why does he keep saying that? Nothing new is happening at all!” It was a difficult time.

But you know what? Just this past year, new things have begun in our church. Exciting changes are taking place! God is doing moving and we�re thrilled! Our pastor was right! Things are changing! But, even before we could see the changes, our Pastor didn�t turn from the vision God had given him.

Psalm 27:14 says, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart, and wait for the Lord.” The Lord wants you and I to dream great dreams for reaching our world. But we need to be patient as we wait on Him, pray, and seek His face.

Remember, God�s timing is perfect. When He takes you through a season of waiting, He�s preparing you. And when He�s ready, watch out! Because the floodgates of heaven will open as you see your evangelistic dreams accomplished to God�s glory!
