Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Monday September 23rd.

Quite often believers in Jesus expand needless energy and trying to accomplish God's work at our own pace.

Let's be reminded of the benefits of staying on God's schedule.

God's schedule for your life and mind is based on his priorities and his timing.

Somebody says, well, what's God's priorities?

Well, I don't know all of them for your life, but I do know this one.

God's priority in your life is simply this, to grow us into an intimate relationship with

him.

That's number one.

It doesn't make any difference how much you serve him, how much you give to him, how much you talk about

him. The most important thing to him is our personal intimate relationship with him.

Therefore, he's going to govern and guide your schedule and mind our timing in different aspects of

our life so that you and I will grow in that relationship.

So sometimes that means he'll do things we don't like.

Many things we don't understand.

Sometimes there'll be pain and suffering and heartache and disappointment and

discouragement rejection.

Other times there'll be this awesome pleasure,

indescribable pleasure, and goodness and mercy and

kindness of God that is so evident.

God is at work in your life and my life all the time.

And the truth is you can't think of a single moment in your life and no activity in which God's not involved.
