In God’s Good Time

Meanwhile, Serving With Humility
Living the dream,
solitude
surrounded by green pastures
beside still waters.
First Chronicles 29:12
Riches and honour come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might; and it is in your hand to make great and to give strength to all.
.
1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time.
…
Words of Grace for Today –
…
I prayed, God give me a billion dollars. (It used to be for a million but with inflation, well you know….)
God answered, “In a minute.”
Nothing happened. I’m still as poor as ever. So I asked a wise person why God did not follow through with God’s good promise.
The wise person said, “God will in God’s good time. For God a billion years is like a minute, and a minute is like a billion years. In a billion years your billion dollars will be yours in heaven. It’ll be worth a dime today, and worthless in heaven. God always keeps God’s promises.”
…
Oh, it’d be great, wouldn’t it, to be great
With riches and honours beyond number!?
God calls us,
not to make ourselves great,
not in anyway,
but rather to serve others
so that even the poorest
have the basics of life,
blessed life,
life abundant.
That can cost us everything.
It did Jesus.
It did numerous saints who have gone before us.
It will us
if we serve Jesus, by humbly serving others, as the Spirit guides and equips us.
In God’s good time.
In God’s good time God gives us wonders upon wonders to enjoy each day.
