God always knows where the potholes are, and he knows when your cake (blessing) will be done.

Sometimes we feel like we are lost on a road at night, and we don't know when or where to get off.  If we did figure that out, we wouldn't know in which direction to travel.  Soon we discover that God has the road map.  He was making preparations for us.  We just needed to wait for the proper time to go.
      You don't put a baby in a crib until the crib has been put together and tested, right?  You don't put an athlete in a game until he or she has had practice and proven him or herself ready, isn't that right?  You can't (or shouldn't) eat a cake until the timer sounds, notifying us that it's finished baking and is ready to be consumed by the waiting crowd.  Do we enjoy it as much if it isn't completely done?  Well, sometimes we have to remind ourselves that our cake (destination) isn't baked yet.  God is still working on it.  If we haven't moved forward yet, maybe it's because it's not time.  He does things in His own way and in His own time.  He can see to the end of our days.  He knows where the potholes in our paths are.  When we don't wait for Him, we fall in the potholes.
      Many of us who are a little older have fallen into the potholes of life.  We rushed things a little like Abraham's wife Sarah.  She got tired of waiting for God to give her and Abraham a child, so she told Abraham, her husband, to have a child with her servant. Abraham did as he was directed by Sarah and had a son with the servant woman.  God eventually blessed that son, but He told Sarah that Ishmael wasn't the child he had been talking about for the promise.  She had created a rather sticky situation.  God knows what He's doing.  He doesn't need our help.  If we stand around like the children standing around the cake batter as it's being prepared, we soon stick our fingers in it before it's time.  We create a sticky situation.  If we begin down a road without proper directions, we may fall into a pothole.
     When it's time for your blessing.  You'll know it.  You won't be able to avoid it.  Follow the path that God has placed before you, and you won't fall into the potholes.  Wait until it's done, and you won't have sticky fingers.  Your blessing has your name on it.  It's coming.
