When God Says “Not Now”

So, we planned a short getaway and so far all of our plans have been sqashed. Sometimes even when we plan our lives out in great detail God may say “not now”.

Sometimes he may just want us to slow down and listen. His voice is loudest when we are quiet. Even though I am retired from a public job I tend to get “busy”. I am always reminded of his presence and that I need to put him first.

This is one of those times when he gently nudges me and reminds me to include Him in my plans. Daily He directs me even when I don’t realize it. Today has been one of those days when a subtle rain has fallen most of the day. Still, we got out and walked our dog who generally hates rain but today it didn’t seem to matter.

When things don’t always go according to your plans don’t blame God but instead include Him. I have listened today and watched for His footsteps in the rain.

God bless you. Make an appointment with God today.

I love art, especially photography and painting. My next addition is crafts or primarily needlecrafts. And as if that was not enough, I am a genealogist.
