Timetable

There is one thing I struggle with the most and that is waiting.  When I go on sales calls I expect to close the deal that day and not have to wait for a decision, but we all know that does not happen all the time. Sometimes we have to go back many times before we close the deal and sometimes it takes time. We sometimes get to the point where we think it’s not going to happen then we start to move on. We look back and think I have put in the work and did the things I needed to do to close the sale, but did we. Sometimes it takes time for the person to really see what you have they really need. However it does take time with some people. Maybe they have a bad taste in their heart about your product or maybe they had a bad experience. Sometimes we just don’t know. We have to have patience and continue to show them the benefits and show them through actions. So take this into life we sometimes have to wait for things that we want. Is it that relationship we want with that special person but the timing is not right or is it something else. This brings me to this verse.

1 Peter 5:6 “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” 

Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to wait. This is especially true when were in a hurry and when we want things to happen now, if not sooner! But Gods plan does not always happen in the way we would like or at the time of our own choosing. Our task – as believing Christians who trust in a benevolent, all knowing Father – is to wait patiently for God to reveal Himself. We human beings are, by nature, impatient. We know what we want, and we know exactly when we want it: RIGHT NOW! but, God knows better. He has created a world that unfolds according to his own timetable, not ours…thank goodness. Even though it is hard to sit back and wait. Will not the lords time be better that your time?
