Ask God For His Timing and Direction

God is God of timing and direction. He wants us to know what to do an when to do it. Psalm 32:8 says "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with My eye." You don't have to live your life ahead of God's will or outside of His will.

Patience will do wonders, but it was not much help to the man who planted an orange grove in Alaska. There is never a right time to do the wrong thing.

Success always depends on accuracy, and hurrying over decisions never helps. Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness. The fastest running back is useless unless heading toward the right goal line.

Timing is the vital ingredient for success. "For the vision is yet for an appointed time." (Hab 2:3). There is an appointed time for your vision. Have 20/20 vision; do not be to far-sighted or too near-sighted. Godly leaders have never done anything successfully on their own initiative. They have always waited upon God, diligently seeking His will. Then, they have said finally, "God led me to do..."
