Delay

Writer's picture: Sherry HoppenSherry Hoppen

"The wilderness delayed the Israelites for 40 years-a roundabout path that was necessary to reach the destination. What we see as a detour, a diversion from our plans may actually be God's divine plan of protection." TD Jakes


The holidays are a season of all that could go right but it seems that it is more often, that things go wrong.


Every single day I wake up with a plan for the day and every single day it doesn't go as planned. I am learning to be ok with it and actually find peace in it.


Yesterday I thought to myself, I feel like I am never doing what I am supposed to be doing, I needed to address that. So I did, in my quiet time, this morning with God.


I came away reminding myself that as long as what I am doing is directed by Him, is necessary, and is an act of doing the next right thing, I should be good to go and that's where I find the peace.


So in the season of flurry and crazy, remember that what we see as obstacles when a change of plans occurs is God's plan and if we go peacefully the day will unfold exactly as it should.


Blessings on your Tuesday,

Sherry

I created the She Surrenders Community because it’s what I longed for during my own journey—a space for Christian women to find connection and support from others who understand. My prayer is that this community blesses you as deeply as it has blessed me.

Stay in Touch
