The sun hasn't come up yet. The work day has really not begun; and yet, it seems like I have been "at it" for a while, working on new plans for today, stuffed into a day I've already fully planned out, but trying to see if I can do more than I already am going to do. I don't think that makes much sense, other than to say, there aren't enough hours in the day to do "everything". So.........I started earlier and have done some things I would have done later in my original plan for the day. It still doesn't make sense.
Sometimes we try to do too much at the expense of taking our time and making sure we don't goof something up by not thinking it all through before we act. The Bible has many examples of individuals who went too quickly, got ahead of God and paid the price for their impatience. Think of Moses and the taskmaster, King Saul acting as a Priest when he wasn't one, David and Bathsheba, Peter and his "know it all" tirades, the children of Israel in their 40 year "death sentence"in the wilderness, Ananias and Sapphira, Lot's wife.............
We still act on impulse far too often, measure once and cut instead of checking ourself, dig before we check for water lines or underground cables, say something before we think of the proper words, spend money before we actually have it........but there is a remedy. God has a Plan B, Plan C, even a Plan Z for our impetuousness.. He has control of the time and can remedy everything we do wrong, or do too quickly. He has it all figured out........hurry up and wait on HIM, And in everything, God can work it out for our good and His glory and still have the time to anticipate and fix our next blunder. What a gracious and merciful God we serve.
And, look at this......it's only 7am and my blog is already written and posted............Thank You, Lord.
