Celebrating When Its Someone Else's Turn

Day 167: To everything there is a season and I believe there is a "set" time for favor as well. Tonight, I listened as one of my close friends told me about the incredible success she is experiencing in her business. All I could say was, "Wow, Wow, Look at God."

If you can't rejoice when those whom you say you love and care for are having their success then don't expect to be celebrated. It will be important in your zeal for your own timing to not covet what is happening in someone else's life. We can not judge our worst by someone else's best.

I don't normally watch much television and in the past two weeks I've seen nothing unless prompted by my granddaughter to turn on "Yo Gabba Gabba or Barney & Friends." But the other day I actually thought of Oprah and was able to catch her show just as she was reviewing some of the trips she'd taken her audience on in the past. Then she started setting the stage for what she was about to do for those in the audience on Monday.

As their anticipation grew, so did mine. Women were crying and holding onto each other based on sheer expectations. I found myself caught up as though it was happening to me. When Oprah announced she was taking all 300 people in the audience to Australia I screamed and even shed a few tears of JOY for them. All of those people were absolute strangers to me but I cheered them on anyhow. We've got to be able to salute and cheer when life’s great outpouring is happening for others.

We know that God is "Sovereign" and that His ways are not our ways nor is His timing our timing. But the one thing I know for sure is this- He is always right on time.

It is a season of unbridled power and the wealth is being transferred.
