Being on God’s Timetable It takes self-control to be obedient to God. When God says “no,” your flesh can get depressed, pout, feel sorry for itself, or react angry and upset. You have to discipline yourself to keep doing what God has commanded even though your flesh wants to scream. There may be times you want to tear your hair out because it’s just so hard. But if you will humble yourself enough to say to Him, “I am nothing without You,” and spend daily, intimate time with Him, God will give you supernatural strength to keep going. Stay close to Him and He will change your heart and your attitude and give you peace in your circumstances. God’s timetable may not make immediate sense to you or the people around you, but remember that His plans are to prosper you, not to harm you (see Jeremiah 29:11). Believe that everything He has asked you to do is going to work out for your good (see Romans 8:28). Trust that whatever God is asking you to do, He has your best interest at heart. Discipline yourself to submit to His authority, and He will bless you in ways you can’t even begin to imagine! Joyce Meyer
