Sometimes we feel like we moving backwards in life instead of forwards!

One day, when I was having a yarn with hubby I gazed at one of my clocks and found that the time was almost two hours ahead of the normal time, so I went and corrected the time.

As I gazed at the clock, I think the Holy Spirit revealed that sometimes in life we are like this clock.

We go a bit ahead of ourselves, probably not in agreement with God's will and God reaches out and puts us back into place.

As I was dwelling on this thought, I wondered what things could make us feel like we are heading backwards rather then forwards.... maybe loosing a job, going through a sickness, loosing a loved one or moving to a place that we never thought of moving.

So whenever we feel we are moving backwards perhaps consider these verses:

Proverbs 3: 5-6

PSALM 40: 1-17

James 1: 2-3 and Romans 5: 3-4

It is good to remind ourselves that when we pray,  for more of God and less of us...we should expect to go through change/training/trials that is for our own benefit.

So if we are ready to be more like Jesus... expect the unexpected and if we are not ready...don't pray that prayer!
