Trusting in God’s Timing
The heart of God holds a wealth of plans, purposes, and answers for our lives, but they are not always revealed to us at once. Unlike the world’s “I want it now” mentality, the kingdom of God operates on a different timeline.
Placing Our Concerns in God’s Hands
It’s essential to surrender everything that worries us to God, trusting that He will keep them safe. The worship chorus “In His Time” reminds us that God makes all things beautiful in His time, not ours. As we surrender, we can rest assured that God is working out His plan, even when we can’t see it.
Why God Says “No”
God’s “no” is often a result of our limited understanding and His infinite wisdom. He sees the bigger picture, knowing how each step should unfold to bring us to a place of clarity. What we perceive as denials are often God’s merciful delays, designed to prepare us for what’s to come.
The Value of Waiting
Many individuals have thanked God for not granting their initial desires, recognizing that those “denials” ultimately led to growth, perseverance, and a deeper trust in God. He sees the dangers ahead that we cannot, and His guidance prepares us to face them. There are things we can wisely use tomorrow that we’re not yet ready for today.
Holding On to Faith
When God’s leading seems unclear or even cruel, we can hold on to the gentle whisper of His promise: “God is working, God is faithful—Only wait.” As Habakkuk 2:3 reminds us, “The vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.”
