Psalms 31:15 "My times are in Thy hand". The first time I saw this verse was in a room Thousands of miles away from Pennsylvania. ... across the ocean in the Czech republic. .. I had just spent 3 months living in Europe. .. and I wasn't ready to come back home. .. so I was busy trying to change my flight... I did everything in my power to open the doors for me to continue to stay in Prague Czech Republic. After all I was serving the Lord on a mission field... this had to be God's will for my life. After realizing that I would not be able to stay... I opened my bible in frustration looking for a "sign" that God would do a miracle and allow me to continue in Prague. My eyes fell on this verse "My times are in Thy hand"... at that moment I knew I had to stop trying because staying was going against what God had for me. You see had I stayed in Prague i wouldn't have been where I was most needed. I thought I was needed most in Prague. .. but I was needed the most at home. You see after I returned home I learned my older sister had taken a turn for the worst. She had been fighting kidney disease for years and dialysis had stopped being effective. .. two weeks after i came home she went home to heaven. When I moved out here to Illinois I knew it was where God wanted me. I struggled at first because it wasn't home.... but Psalms 3115 has guided me along the way... and now by Gods grace I can call Rockford home and Berean all family. Never under estimate where God will take you. Its always better than your will! So maybe today you are struggling with where you are at in life. Maybe it's not what you thought it would be or maybe it's not where you want to be. Just let go of your desires and trust God. Had I not waited on the Lord's timing, I would not be here. But here is exactly where I need to be and where I want to be. The Lord is Amazing and wants to give us His best. Let go, dear friend and trust Him... the possibilities God has for you are endless!
