Timing is everything by Bruce Wadd
I was a sprinter in high school, always loved running fast and trying to win races.
As an adult I still love trying to get things done quickly, whether it’s painting the house, eating a meal, even writing an article!
The ideas haven’t necessarily been wrong or bad, but the timing is … often terrible!
I sit and write this article with dreams bursting inside me, wanting to do so much, but with a wry smile on my face. I slowly learn a greater truth … that God’s timing is JUST PERFECT.
Often it means waiting, sitting rather than running, putting my hand over the mouth of my dreams, and letting them bubble away inside without a voice until God says it’s time.
Even though this article has been ‘me’ focused, it’s really about you and the internal frustration I have shared. For those who run ahead of God; who think they can add to what God is doing; who reckon they know better than Him … here’s some timely advice:
“Those who wait for Me will never be put to shame.” Isaiah 49:23 Slow down … your time will come!

But
I notice my impatience particularly raring it’s ugly head when I’ve been
building businesses, or the many times that I have raced ahead in ministry
with something God has stirred in my heart.
