Sometimes we feel time has run out, but has it?
Although it seems like I am surrounded With attacks coming on every side
Those I thought were in my corner
Are standing back waiting for me to run and hide
But they forgot that I serve the one true and living God
And His promises are yes and amen
So, it may look like it, but it’s not too late
For my God to turn this situation around in my favor, yet again.
Yes, the bills are steadily piling high
And the job search is going kind of slow
The severance package from the previous job is running out
And everyone I loaned money to before, keep telling me “sorry, but no”
The tension and the stress are building
The pressure and anxiety are constantly rising
But consistently, I call out to God, putting it all in His hands
It’s not too late for God to work a miracle that is uncompromising
That relationship I thought would work out, it didn’t
And for some reason, I guess I move too slow
For the ones that I have dated, have moved on
And I’m left in the shadows, watching the ‘show’
I’m not bitter, because I’ve been more focused on other things
So, I recognize it hasn’t been a top priority
But sometimes I feel like my presence isn’t a big deal
It’s not too late for God to shift the focus on me
I’m chasing a dream that I’ve had for awhile
And it’s growing and shifting and taking all kinds of turns
Sometimes I feel like I’m just marking time
Though this passion within me continues to yearn and yearn
Why is this journey seemingly so convoluted?
Father, help me see the path you have cleared
Remove the busy, the chaotic, and the crazy
I know it’s not too late for this dream to come to pass, regardless of how it appears
It’s not too late if God put it in your heart and has watered it day by day
It’s not too late if you’ve let God lead you in your yea as well as your nay
It’s not too late if you believe God will keep you regardless of what’s staring you in the face
It’s not too late if you’ve surrendered control to God to set the proper pace
It’s not too late even if you messed up and that person that really is for you, you let go
It’s not too late if you turned down that perfect job, and now someone else is running the show
It’s not too late for that wayward child, who acted out because of your absence
It’s not too late for that degree or that book, for life’s challenges have given you more substance
Perhaps it’s too late for that particular person, because now they have moved on to someone else
Perhaps it’s too late for that exact position, because now it is filled with greater wealth
But it’s not too late for God to open doors for you
It’s not too late, but you must believe it is true
Life’s detours are not always sent by the Lord, but often are because of our decisions
But it’s not too late to return to Him, and submit to Godly direction and vision
It’s never too late for God to step in and work His miracles on your behalf,
It’s never too late for God to replace sadness and depression with a new laugh
It’s never too late for God to remove anxiety and replace it with relief
It’s never too late for complete submission to God, so new life and new vision can be released
It’s never too late to seek God and work on right relationship with Him It’s never too late to repent and surrender and allow Him to provide a Day 1 again.
I open myself up to your perfect timing in my life; rebuking all fleshly anxiety and nervousness about anything that I thought was negated by my thoughts or my actions. Lord, move in a new and exciting way, showing me how to trust you with all of me, follow you more nearly, and surrender to you more completely. I welcome your leading me in your righteous paths. In Jesus' Name! Amen.
That is why the Lord says, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don’t tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish.
~Joel 2:12-13 (NLT)
