NO INSTANT BUTTERFLIES
An unknown author has written,
"You can make the clock strike
before the hour by putting your
hand on it, but it will strike wrong."
"You can tear the rose bud open
before its time, but you will mar
its beauty."
"So, we may soil many a gift of blessings
which God is preparing for us by our
own eager haste. He who is weaving
our lives has a perfect plan for each
[of us], don't pull at the threads."
The Psalmist tells us, "Wait on the Lord,
be of good courage..Wait, I say, on the Lord."
(Psalm 27:14)
In simple terms, the Lord is trying to teach
us that in God's time table, there are no
instant butterflies.
