Waiting

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. - Psalm 27:14

This morning we had to wait for the school bus to come.  We waited and waited, until finally we gave up and I drove the girls to school.  Waiting is difficult.  Waiting is difficult when things don’t happen or people don’t act on our schedule or according to our plans.

God doesn’t act according to our plans and on our schedule.  God acts in his own time, but we can be assured that God’s timing is perfect and will never be wrong.  So when a prayer doesn’t get answered when we think it should, or when healing or help doesn’t occur when we want it to, that doesn’t mean God isn’t acting, or isn’t listening or doesn’t care.  It just means we need to grow in patience and wait on the Lord, even though it is not easy.  God’s timing is always right.

Prayer:  Thank you Lord that your timing is always right.  Forgive me when I become impatient and act on my own time instead of waiting on you.  Give me more patience and faith.  Amen.

Faith Tip:  What are you waiting for from the Lord?  Become more patient by focusing on the fact that God is working and he is waiting for just the right time to bring about what you are waiting for.
