Just another friendly reminder to be patient. I’ve been wanting to get a new camera for a while. I had a small budget and was looking for one on ebay. I had it narrowed down to a particular model. It wasn’t quite as good as I wanted, but it fit the budget. Every time I bid on one, however, I would lose. I’d either get outbid at the last moment or forget that the auction was ending.

I didn’t let that get to me. I trusted that for every deal I missed, that just meant that God had something better in store for me. Sure enough, a few weeks later I received a graduation present from my parents. It was a camera better than anything for which I was hoping. I finally knew the reason I was missing all of those auctions.

Of course, this lesson can translate to other areas of life. Have patience. Trust that God has the best intentions for your life. Things may not turn around in a few weeks like they did for me. It may take months, even years.  I can’t promise you’ll be happy with the results, but have patience. Things will work out for the best.

Romans 8: 28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
