Obey Quote by Beth Moore
““Time can test almost anything and un-doubtedly anyone. Sometimes when we obey God and go where we believe He is sending us, we’re not altogether certain what we expected, but after a while we ascertain, “This certainly can’t be it.” In fact, obeying God can initially seem to get us into a bigger mess than we left. It can make you think, “I must be an alien here.” But actually, that may be your first indication you’re in the right place. We can be in the bull’s-eye of God’s will for our lives even when things make utterly no sense. Sometimes we just to wait on that ugly, five-letter word: “later.””
