I hear so often to people who are skeptical of Matchmakers and online dating, they say things like I am just waiting on God to bring them to me, or all in God’s timing.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe in a God of miracles, I believe in a God who can write your love story (he wrote mine), but I also believe in a God who doesn’t force things on you, and has never forced his love on you but he simply gives you the door to choose if you will walk through it. Let’s look at Matthew 7:7
which says “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
If you look at this verse he doesn’t simply say he will just put things in front of us, but that he requires us to take an action first. You need to ask before it’s given, seek before it’s found and knock before the door is opened. What does this passage tell us? That God will direct us, but that we need to take action first.
Proverbs 16:9 says “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” See man needed to take the step to plan the course, but then the Lord directs.
Are you so focused on this person magically appearing that you forget to actually take the steps for it to happen? Let me tell you that you may be waiting for quite some time because we serve a God who doesn’t force you into anything.
Do you agree, disagree?
