Based on the previous blog, you could try to make assumptions as to how our day may have begun today. However, just as God knows who we are and what we need, He chose once again to reveal Himself to us. I read my 'online' devotion this morning and was so blessed as I read about Balaam and the donkey. God used a DONKEY, of all things to show Baalam that he was going in the wrong direction. But the devotion went on to say that God may be doing one of four things when you are faced with an obstacle:

1) He's blocking it to protect you.
2) His timing to complete this stage is not the same as yours,
and He may need you to go through a process of character refinement.
3) He may want other players to get in place,
and the circumstances are not yet ready for them to enter.
4) He may be using the process to develop patience in you.

Relying on the Holy Spirit to know which one applies to your situation is the key to moving in God's timing.
Isn't that just like God...He uses the very circumstances around us to teach us a spiritual truth!
