We have all seen or experienced the tension that comes in the face of peer pressure. If you haven’t personally known the pressure of the school playground crowd or the college party crowd or the workplace crowd, surely you’ve at least seen Ralphie get his tongue stuck to a frozen flagpole in A Christmas Story.

Do you long to see more of God’s presence in your life? I suspect we all do. 
I heard a phrase this week that stood out to me about this. It was a line in a prayer...

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV)

“Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the water; and you without silver, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without silver and without cost!"  

Isaiah 55:1 (CSB)

For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” But you were unwilling.

Isaiah 30:15 (ESV)
 

There isn’t a “best time” for everything. Sometimes there is just “now, do the thing.”

I have been a slave much of my life to waiting for optimum timing, or waiting to have more information, or waiting to be able to control things better.
