Next Time Poem by Arnold Dilley

when you face life's problems and adversities
and come to God in prayer
waiting and waiting to no end
remember that God never comes too soon or late
you are next in line to the person ahead of you
yes next time you are next in line
to that person in front of you
God in His infinite wisdom
knows that, that person is in dire need than you are
his problems might be bigger and his faith is stronger

trust in His words and be thankful
little things or in big things, be grateful
He might be teaching you to be patient
to wait on Him
to quiet your aching heart

then you will be filled with inner peace
if you only trust His plans for you
the best in you is yet to come
and you will be the next in line
in His own, good, good time

so, your time will come next time.Just wait and see
