Summary
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecc. 3:11
God's timing in the plan of your life is everything. But what do you do as you wait for that plan to unfold? Today's storyteller reminds you exactly what to do: you pray, you seek, and you trust!
Jessica Prier, from our Vestavia, Alabama, community, shares her journey of growing in her faith and in her gifting as she recalls the ways in which the Lord has led her to where she is today. If you're in a season of needing guidance from the Lord, this story is going to remind you to have patience and know He is working behind the scenes to bring good to you and glory to Him.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
- God places giftings and talents within each of us early on in life.
- Sometimes, God closes a door and opens another one.
- God wants to do immeasurably more than you could ask or imagine.
