God's timing

Every so often you read something that just stands out like a neon sign, sometimes in the most unusual of places.  And if that something happens to be written by a child, sometimes a simple misspelling can add a whole new twist to a familiar message.

They were working on  a mosaic that would share a message about God or Jesus.  She had pieced the squares together into a rainbow and written a message above it.

God never brakes his promises.

I've read so many times that God doesn't break his promises . ..  but this caught my eye.  God never brakes his promises.   Just last night (at our Higher Hope support group for those who have lost children) we talked about how we sometimes were sure that something was going to happen at a certain time ~ and then it didn't.  Did we misunderstand?  Hear Him wrong?  Not hear Him at all?

But this . .  . God knows.  He knows the perfect timing for His plans.  And what seems like a delay to us isn't a bump in the road to Him.   He knew it was coming, and steered around it, no brakes necessary, to arrive at the destination in His perfect timing.  So maybe next time I'm tempted to slam on the brakes and yank the wheel out of His hands, I'll remember to let Him drive.  Because He's got it all under control, even on a road that is filled with hazards and detours in my eyes.  He will get us there ~ not a moment too soon, not a moment too late, but right on His time.

Lord, I thank you for messages sent through children.  And for Your timing ~ even when I don't understand it.

PS:  Thank you, friend, for snapping that picture for me!  ;)
