Wouldn’t life be great, abundant even, if we could get in sync with God’s will and His timing? Much of the heresy in the church today arises from false teaching about God’s will and timing. We are told that God wants what’s best for His children. That’s true. He knows what is best; we don’t.

Much of our prayer time is spent explaining to God what He needs to do and when He needs to do it. God must smile and shake His head a lot.<\/p>\n

Abundant life isn’t a comfortable past and a “secure” future. It is the expectant joy in experiencing the surprising opportunities God presents us with each day. Life is exciting and satisfying not when God provides what we order up each day, but we experience what he supplies every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
