Pslam 23
It is easy to say God is good
His timing is perfect
When steps are moving forward
Toward your desired goal
Your desired timeline
But what about when steps are stalled
Or steps are back?
Do we trust?
Do we trust His timing?
What about when he makes us lie down in green pastures?
Do we trust when we aren’t moving forward?
When we aren’t moving at all
Do we trust that his timing might include some sitting still?
Like still waters
When he hems us in behind and before
That means that even steps backward are in His will
He ordains all steps
Even the ones that are not forward
Even the ones that seemingly take us farther from our self stated goal
He makes us lie down when we want to run ahead
He makes us be still when we want to hustle
Sometimes back is the way forward to His will and not our own
Trust when it doesn’t make sense
Trust when the path isn’t a straight line
Trust that He knows the way
That He goes before us
And watches our back
He is always moving
Even if it doesn’t feel forward
