"Above all, trust the slow work of God." --Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. We often say, "In God's good time", and surely it both acknowledges the slow process that God seems to revel in and the sweetness that can accompany this process if we put our trust in it. Look at creation: billions of years to arrive at where we are; look at our own lives, a slow, slow journey that remarkably seems so short as we ask, "Where did the time go?" And yet the waiting, the anticipation makes the road sweet and the arrival even sweeter. May we become more accustomed to HIS time rather than OUR time. For it is indeed HIS gift to us, not something we earn or deserve. "Father Knows Best", a popular TV show in the 50's and an oft quoted dictum of fathers proves to be right time and time again, and certainly it becomes clearer as we live, Our FATHER knows best. "Trust the slow work of God."
Bro. Rene
