Don't ever force things.

Don't ever force things to happen the way you wan't them to.

There is one thing we usually forget, that is God has already made a map of our lives. Every directions, which roads to take and not to take and which stops to make. He has already given us everything that we need in this journey of life. He promised to be with us till the end of time.( Matthew 28:20) The problem with us is that we are in a rush, we don't want to wait for the right time. In fact, we don't like waiting at all. it's in our nature, but the word of God (the Bible) encourages us to wait on the Lord. The psalmist says"Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!"  Psalm 27:14,  He further says, "Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass".

Don't force things at all!

Don't force things to happen the way you want them to. Don't fight it when things aren't going according to your timetable. God has time and seasons in His hands. There's nowhere He can be late.
He knows your wants and needs, He is aware of your heart desires, so let Him be in complete control of your life, for He knows what's best and not best for you. He allows things to happen because He is in control of everything, King David is in acknowledgement of this when he says: "For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs. You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment." Psalm 66:10-12. So don't fight against everything you don't like or situations you cannot change.  Just Trust in Him, understand the principle that you wouldn't be in the situation that you're  in unless you needed to be in it.

God uses tough times for our good.

Here is  reminder; God uses difficulties to do work in us and in the end of it all, everything works for our good. We grow in tough times, in moments where you feel like you can't take it anymore or God is probably punishing you for sins that you committed  long ago and forgot to ask for forgiveness. Those are the moments that we grow the most, even if you can't see or feel it, believe you me, those are the "growing moments." The LORD  will not allow difficulty unless He has a divine purpose for you. Think of this; God didn't lead the Israelites to the shortest route to the promise land, He took them the long way on purpose because He  they were not prepared for the war, had He taken them in too quickly, they would have been easily defeated. So, sometimes God doesn't answer certain prayers, change certain difficulties or let us have our away, not because He is trying to make our lives miserable but because He knows what is up in front of us. Sometimes He has to toughen us up and get us prepared so we could step into the fullness.

When we force things to happen, we end up missing the plans He has for us.

In the book of Jeremiah, God says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11  When we refuse to wait on God and force things to happen, we end up missing the beautiful plan, we end up missing our blessings because we choose to force things and have them our way, rather than His way. While waiting on Him we should remain at the place in which He wants us to be. Although it might seem impossible to do, but it is the best thing one could ever do while waiting. Isaiah tells us that, the people who wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. When you force things to happen there is a good chance that they will fail. And then you will have to go back to the drawing board and simply wait.


If we do not wait upon the LORD and rush to obtain everything by force, we are clearly wasting our time because it will definitely fail. And when the day comes in which the LORD passes by to give us our share of blessings, we will miss it because we did not stay in the same place we were supposed to while waiting. The book of Habakkuk 2:3 says, for the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. No matter how long the promise takes to be accomplished at the end of the day it will be accomplished. All you have to do is to stay on your guard and keep yourself busy. Take an example of a watchman he stays up every night to watch over whatever that was asked of him to watch, he tries to keep himself busy so he might not fall asleep. As Christians the best way to keep ourselves busy is by reading the bible and staying in the presence of God. Be like a tree when it is already rooted under the soil. no matter the wind, storm or the rain, it doesn't change its place. It stays firmly on it position no matter what.
