But today, I’m asking the question, Can we be happy (defined in my mind as joyfully content) standing on the phrase “in Gods Timing.” Said differently, when we become frustrated…waiting for prayers to be answered or maybe confirmation from God that we ARE on the right track…even though we see little progress…and become more discontent with “Gods Timing,” WHAT are we to do with that? WHY does it seem sometimes as though God’s POWER is absent in our lives?

Is it possible to find happiness, peace, contentment, joy and fulfillment in Gods Timing? This “in Gods Timing” phrase is a tricky subject.

Why is it we tend to be the happiest only in the successes, the promotions, the raises and accomplishments…when we’ve reached the summit, if you will…but struggle to stay fully content and even exuberant in the valleys.

Do we really need a miracle everyday to stay euphorically high (that state of intense excitement and happiness), content, engaged and motivated?

Why is it often difficult to remain euphoric between the high points in our lives? When life is on auto pilot if you will, or on cruise control, boring and mundane?

I ask this question too many times in my own life…and often voice my frustration to God, not “WITH GOD” but certainly “TO GOD.” “I’m doing my part…I’m executing my calling the best I know how…so why are you opting not to increase it…to demonstrate that you are indeed behind this initiative…confirm that I’m on the right path…doing the right thing”?

Personally, I think it’s okay to have these direct and blunt discussions with God. Especially, when our objective is NOT to blame God or simply complain without cause…but when we are sincerely asking for clarity, confirmation and engagement. When we are seriously seeking direction, feedback and input, I think God is okay (maybe the better word would be tolerant) with us in our quest for direction.

Join me today as we examine this question in great detail.
