That’s what the signboard in front of the church said. I never heard the sermon the signboard was advertising, but that short message affected me deeply. It came at a time in my life when I was involved in a Large (for me) real estate project in a falling real estate market. I was desperate to get out of that project. I wanted God to act NOW to get it done.

I have now learned to live with the fallout of that project, and to accept the fact that God knows best. And it is working. I firmly believe now that we will weather the storm and be better of by not selling the project at the low rate it would have taken to sell immediately.

As Garth Brooks put it in one of his best songs-

Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
