S06E006, God Doesn't Rush, Andy B 2 Minute Video
It can sometimes be challenging to accept even the most basic of truths of the Bible; of heaven and hell; of God’s nature. But there is one thing we should never have to question and that is whether God is in a rush or not.
We can have differing views of all sorts of things when it comes to how we interpret the bible. But, when it comes to God being in a hurry, the answer is that He simply can not ever be in a hurry. E V E R!
And the reason is simple – God made time; He exists outside of time and, if you aren’t tied to time, you’d not be in a rush either.
If you know, righteously, that you’ve been given something to do by God then don’t ever doubt that God will equip you to carry it out. It is simply outside of his nature to trick us into failing.
The only issue, really, is whether or not what we think is what God intended.
Discerning His will can be a challenge because it often goes against our own pre-conceived thoughts.
But, one thing that will never be in question is this: Is God in a rush?
If you’re asking that questions, the answer is no! God is not rushing!!
Just a thought...

[00:00:00] So another Andy B 2 Minute Video. Simple one today! God Never Rushes.
[00:00:13] Sometimes it can feel like, all these things around us, all these many, many things have suddenly started moving at the same time and it can feel like we're being pushed along and it's rushing. But if there's one thing I can promise you, absolutely, unequivocably, God Never Rushes.
[00:00:29] Why can I say that? Really simply!
[00:00:31] He exists without having to be completely incapacitated by time like we are. He operates outside of time. Well, if time isn't an obstacle, then you don't have to rush, do you? Simply put. But the beautiful thing that I heard once said is that God chooses to be limited by the confines of time, in order to have an ongoing relationship with us. And I love that. God doesn't rush.
[00:00:57] If God's given you something to [00:01:00] do, and you prayerfully, biblically, decided this is what God wants you to do. If you've got counsel and you've done all the things you're supposed to do to know that this thing, that's what God wants you to do, then you don't need to worry about having the resources to do what God's asked you to do, to have the time for what God's asked you to do, to have the energy, or even the capacity, to do what God's asked you to do. Because, if God's asked you to do it, He will give you all you need in order for you to do it.
[00:01:31] God never ever operates to trip us up! That's just not God's nature. He wouldn't do that. That would be against his nature.
[00:01:41] But when you've got that thing God's asked you to do don't think, well, why hasn't it happened yet? Why hasn't God opened this door? Why hasn't God done this? Why hasn't God done that? I can guarantee it's because you're rushing it, and God isn't.
[00:01:52] I'm reading Corrie Ten Boom's book at the moment about the Second World War, the family life in [00:02:00] Holland for her, her sister, her father, the Jews that they would hide. Some of the things in that message, I feel like God's rushing, but it's not rushing. It's God putting things into place one at a time so that in His time all that comes together. And that can feel like a rush, but it is never God rushing, ''cos He doesn't need to.
[00:02:22] If God's given you some't to do don't fear, or worry, about him equipping you for what he's asked you to do. God won't cause you to trip. He won't cause you to stumble. We do that very well by ourselves. But if God's asked you to do something, be patient, be wise. Wait for His timing, His lead. Don't rush ahead of Him and don't lag behind him.
[00:02:45] Wait for His lead and He won't fail you.
[00:02:47] Just a thought.
