The Secret of Resistance, Divine Timing and Patience

The Secret of Resistance, Divine Timing and Patience

 Is resistance something that holds you back?  No, resistance is something that when recognized and used effectively moves you forward in the direction that best serves you.  When we encounter resistance, our first instinct is to “push” and try to make something happen. When that “something” does not happen-anger and frustration set in. 

When resistance is viewed from the perspective of Divine Timing, we understand that “pushing” is futile and counterproductive.  Instead when resistance is encountered, stop and take a step back.  See the big picture-Divine Timing.  Things will only happen when the time is right. The Saint Therese prayer asks us to trust Divine Timing.  Today may there be peace within. May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

Divine Timing is the power greater than us. It is trusting that this power, this Universe,  God ( whatever your belief) , will always guide you to your highest good. 

Resistance tells us that more time is needed, or perhaps a different direction is required to serve our highest good.  It means practicing patience – a virtue we often have difficulty with.  Fear is the driving force that prevents us or makes it difficult to be patient.  Fear never serves our highest good. It is a primitive survival reaction that only works well when there is threat of imminent danger. 

Patience requires trust and trust requires the understanding of Divine Timing. The next time you encounter resistance view it as a time to stop, take a step back, see the big picture and wait patiently for Divine Timing.
