New Beginnings, Day 16

False start. Read Genesis chapter 16.

I enjoy running track in my spare time. Whenever I’m in a race, I cannot start the race until the starter shoots the starting pistol. If I do, it’s a false start and I am disqualified. God had told Abraham his grand plan for him. He had probably shared that plan with his wife. However, they decided that they could figure out how to work that plan on their own. Abram false started.

How many times have we understood God’s plan for us, but not the timing. We get carried away and end up taking off early. We false start. God has to call us back. Our new beginning is important, but being obedient to God and his timing is more important.

Are we waiting on God’s timing? Or, are we jumping ahead and false starting?
