If the request is wrong – God says no
If the timing is wrong – God says slow
If you are wrong – God says grow
But if the request is right, the timing is right and you are right – God says go!
Realizing the future is uncertain not only teaches us trust in God, it helps us properly value the present. To be obsessed with future plans may result in our failure to appreciate present blessings or our evasion of present duties.
– John Wesley
