When God takes His Time

    "(17) When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, through that was shorter.  For God said, "If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt". (18) So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.  The Israelites went out of Egypt armed for battle."  Exodus 13: 17-18

    Are you at a place in your life where it seems that things are moving slowly?  We are hanging on to a promise, however years or even decades have passed with no manifestation. What are we to do?   

    This passage of scripture let's us know that sometimes God takes us on the long route, a detour.   Our destination may be only ten minutes away.  However, we are faced with that orange sign in the road, DETOUR, which leads us through back streets and side roads.  When we finally reach our destination, ten minutes is now 1 hour. 

     God often does this in our personal lives.  We may be headed down a particular path and all of a sudden He has taken us on a detour.  Though we may be confused and astonished by this change of events, God is not.  He see things on the road that may be a stumbling block to us.  He can see all of the pot holes, obstacles, and debris that will impede our progress.  Our Lord knows how to keep us out of harm's way.  

       So  do not be discouraged when God takes you on a detour.  Seek His Face, and follow the lead of His Spirit.  It may save your life.

I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never
found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for
me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers
made good content as you did, the web will
be a lot more useful than ever before. Hey! Someone
in my Myspace group shared this website with us so I came
to give it a look. I'm definitely loving the information. I'm bookmarking and will be
tweeting this to my followers! Great blog and fantastic design and style.
Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with?
I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a
tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
for something unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Have you ever thought about adding a little
bit more than just your articles? I mean,
what you say is fundamental and all. However think of if you added some great photos or videos to give your
posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its field.
Wonderful blog!
