And My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine\u2019<strong>. <\/strong>You cannot predict God\u2019s ways but you can align with them. God will not work according to your timing but according to His purpose. We must constantly remind ourselves that God\u2019s <!--more-->ways are not anything like ours. If we do this often, we will be free of disappointments and patient enough to wait on God. Then trust that He is working out all things for our good. \u2018We can make our own plans, but <em>the LORD gives the right answer<\/em>\u2019 <a title=\"Read the Bible\" href=\"http:\/\/bible.us\/prov16.1.nlt\" target=\"_blank\">Prov.16:1. <\/a>The Lord gives the right answers &#8211; God can approve your plan but you must expect Him to do things in His own way. So you do not get frustrated and bitter when certain things don\u2019t go the way you pray. It is madness to get angry at God at all. God\u2019s answer can be \u2018yes\u2019, or \u2018yes but wait\u2019, or \u2018yes but not like this\u2019, or \u2018not now, wait\u2019, or \u2018no\u2019. God\u2019s ways are not your ways \u2013 deal with it! God is not your servant you cannot boss the Alpha and Omega around. Isn\u2019t it amazing how when people are working according to God\u2019s plan and purpose they never complain? If you are currently complaining about His ways, then check your position, approach, heart, and your timing. If it will kill you, He won\u2019t give you. When you align with His ways, even the mistakes you make along the way, He will rework for your good. This does not mean you start attributing every disappointment to God\u2019s ways. God does not glory in you being disappointed. Do not let the enemy confuse you and cause you to question God\u2019s promises or His Word. God said none shall lack her mate, you heard the Word when you were 23 and now you are 35. Wait, He never fails! If God can lay down His only Son, then what won\u2019t He give us. Did God say it? Then wait for it because it shall surely come to pass.
