God wants us to plan for tomorrow instead of worrying about it. After planning, He will bless those plans if we pray then believe. However, as Ecclesiastes 3:1 says “to every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven”.
If after planning, praying and believing nothing happens, don’t lose heart and don’t try to manipulate events, people and things. Take a cue from the pendulum.
After Galileo saw the swing of the pendulum, he noticed that no matter what you do, you cannot hurry or slow down the pace of a pendulum. It takes exactly the same time to arrive at one point from another no matter the distance.
So, don’t hate people when they put obstacles your way. Nothing they can do can ever slow down your progress. This is a spiritual law laid down by God in Romans 8:31 “If God be for us, who can be against us?”
