God's Timing

"He has made everything beutiful in its time..."

Sometimes we feel like we have been waiting forever for God to do something new and fresh in our lives, but God still has not responded. While we cannot understand why, we must trust Him and trust His faithfulness. He is at work in a different way than we understand or expect.

I have asked God many times to speed things up for me, high school, the days until my driver's test at the DMV, college, getting married. It is difficult for us to wait on God, but it is in these times of waiting that God is able to work a process in us that refines our faith. If we are not patient, we become discouraged and lose hope. Yet, if you have been patient, when the day you've been waiting for arrives, God will have worked all the details out beautifully, and it will be more exciting and fullfilling than you dreamed!

There will be good times, and there will be hard times. Second Timothy 2:13 says that even if we are faithless, He will remain faithful. It is God's very nature to prove Himself to you, to come through for you. God will not let you down. His grace will sustain you. Trust in Him.
