God’s promises are revealed and fulfilled in His timing, which is often on a calendar far different from our own.
Waiting patiently for God to work may be one of the most difficult experiences of our Christian walk.
We live in an age of the immediate. We think waiting, and doing so quietly, is somehow less worthy, perhaps even a bit lazy.
We are great ‘do it yourselvers’ and we often get in God’s way when we take things into our own hands.
Whatever the circumstances, God’s timing is the best. When you are tempted to step in and make things happen on your own, think of Abraham and Sarah. Their attempts to fulfil God’s promise had disastrous results.
Remember, God has His own timetable and rest in the assurance that He loves you and will fulfil His promise to you.
Here are some promises in Scripture:
Psalm 27:14 “Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
Isaiah 30:18 “Yet the Lord, longs to be gracious to you. He rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice, Blessed are all who wait for Him.”
Psalm 130:5 “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits and in His Word do I put my hope.”
Micah 7:7 “ But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.”
So remember, waiting has great rewards in God’s kingdom.◊
