Walking in agreement 2

Walking in agreement with God requires two things; agreement on where we are going and agreement on the speed of walking.  Our ultimate destination of course is heaven which is where all believers will go when they die but the path each of us walks in this life and the speed we walk that path will be different for each one of us.

Different does not mean one way is better than another way.  Nor does one person accomplishing something before we do make them a better person.  Different means just that – different. God’s plan or path for each one of us will be different and all God’s plans are ‘good, pleasing and perfect.’ 

God’s plan for our life is the best plan there is but so often we would prefer our plan.  There may be nothing wrong with our plans, we may desire to do some very good and worthwhile things but God’s plan is the best and his timetable may be very different from ours.  He may know that we need experience in some particular area or our characters honing in a particular way so that we will do well and succeed in our chosen path. 

God is far more interested in our character and attitudes than he is about our career or even ministry.  He is in the business of making each one of us as like Jesus as we can be.  That takes time but God is in no hurry. 

Each day let us commit our time, talents and resources to him and see God bring about his plans and purposes for our lives in his timing.
