Right on cue

I had just been journaling about how I feel so helpless to pull the right "fish" out of the Christian dating pond. I finished up the journal entry with this comment, "I know that I need to pull some faith out of the bag for this one, but right now I seem to be grabbing more doubt than faith." Slightly discouraged, I opened God's Word to the next verse on my trek through Romans: "And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old)...he did not waiver at the promise of God through unbelief" (4:19-20a). So amazing how God spoke to me about faith just seconds after I was lamenting my lack of it! If Abraham was keeping the faith for a son at 100 years old, why can't I keep the faith for a wife at 30?! "Thank you Father, for giving me a timely word from the Bible this morning. Thank you for what you taught me in those 2 verses, and for the way that turned my whole day around."

Same thing here. It's a struggle as to what I'm more frustrated with; my own lack of faith or God's timing.
