There was a time I needed to be somewhere, it happened that mum helped me pack a few stuff, I was busy with something so I couldn't pack all I needed. While packing, mum asked if I needed a particular thing, I said no, but she insisted, telling me I would need it. To me, I didn't think it was really relevant, but since she insisted , I consented. So, she included the 'thing' in the bag. I left, and when I got to where I was going, I found out that I needed that thing more than any other thing at that time. It was really necessary, and I was glad she made me carry it. I called and thanked her, her response was 'I'm your mother, I knew you'd need it (note the word need, not want).
Now to the more reason I told the story. Sometimes , we want to out do God. We want to do it on our own, we want to force things, we pay more attention to things we don't need at a particular point in our lives, then reject or decline the things we really need, ignorantly or consciously.
The thing is, if our earthly parents know us that much, what makes us think that the one who created us knows us less ?
Even before we were formed He knew us, and He hasn't created anyone without a purpose or direction... no! Not one.
There's time and season for everything, do/focus on what's necessary at a particular time in your life. and never forget that your maker would most likely give you what you need not what you want.
