DIVINELY APPOINTED DELAYS
I have experienced some things
It's happened on many a day
Everything has been thought out and planned
Except our Divinely Appointed Delays.
The car's already for travel
The oil and transmission fluid seem fine
Enough gas to make it from point A to B
Except it is Divinely Appointed Time.
When a journey of a couple hours
Takes two or three days to arrive
Plans C, D and E sometimes F and G
Through His Divine Appointments we survive.
"Lord, what is in this?" we ask Him
When clearly we can't see at all
Then He unravels His purpose
A Divinely Appointed Call.
New people to meet and to share with
New places to plant gospel seed
Somewhere to water the harvest
Somehow to meet someone's need.
And when my excitement gets stirring
I'm definitely under the gun
I'm frazzled and weary from worrying
He reminds me I'm still His son.
I'm where I'm at in His good pleasure
He knoweth the way that I go
He then gives me grace as His measure
And lightens my burdens also.
All things are working together for my good
I know it because I love HIm
This is a calling according to His purpose
As my Divine Appointment begins
Don't be surprised fellow traveler
When such things happen to you
God Who has His eye on each sparrow
Will have a Divine Appointment for you.
