Fruit Loops on the Floor

Recently, one of my children decided to help my wife and I prepare breakfast without our knowledge. He took the cereal box out of the pantry and removed the milk from the refrigerator. But instead of emptying the contents into his bowl, they ended up on the floor in a soggy, sticky pile. 

Often, instead of trusting patiently in the LORD, we try to help Him out by doing things our way. Instead of helping, we mess things up because of our lack of wisdom concerning what we really need. God doesn't need our help! He is never later or early, and never wrong. May we learn to trust in His perfect timing and plan so that our fruit-loop actions don't end up on the floors of our lives in a big, sticky mess.

¹ I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. ² He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. ³⁴ How blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood. ⁵And Your thoughts toward us;
There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the LORD. Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done, (Psalm 40:1-5)
