Trust God’s Timing During A Long Season Of Waiting! He has made everything beautiful in its time! He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end! Ecclesiastes 3:11 I’m waiting! It seems like I have been there forever! Because it’s true! We all spend the majority of our lives constantly waiting for answers to prayers, for our efforts to pay off, for struggles to resolve! For relief, rest, and peace to sweep over our weary souls! What are you waiting for? I know there’s something! The only things I don’t know are what you’re waiting on and how hard and long it’s been! If I could guess, like most of the world, you wish you could weather the wait a bit better! You probably wish you could trust and depend on God a little deeper! Wholeheartedly believing that He will provide a way, redeem a situation, restore something or someone that seems broken, or just move you out of the rut of what seems stagnant or full of struggle! I’m sure you need encouragement and confidence in His control and timing. And I do, too! But as I reflect on that first deep dive with Sarah and Abraham, I remember the encouragement I received as I read how God’s gaze was always on them! How God promised a child, God delivered that child, and how He used that baby boy to someday bring about the nation of Israel! Isaac also falls in the lineage of the blessed Messiah! What a story! If only we could take a peek into and see all the blessings that are to come from every prayer, promise, and planted seed scattered through our lives, too! And blessings bestowed upon us personally, treasures, and tokens received ought to serve as reminders of God’s goodness and glory throughout our entire existence! But, we tend to stay in a state of struggle to feel encouraged while we wait! Wrestling with truly trusting God, as our patience wears thin and our attitudes and actions, reflects a lack of confidence in His trustworthiness! Because we just can’t see it! We wait longer than we think we can bear and just aren’t sure God will ever come through in this lifetime! What we do know! God has had a plan before the beginning of time! A plan that included you and me! A plan that includes every single detail of our lives! And all of it is for good! For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope! Jeremiah 29:11 For your good! For God's good and glory! And for the good of His entire kingdom! We’ve seen it. He shared it! We can believe it! And we can rest today and trust it! The LORD, our good God, is trustworthy! And in His timing, He absolutely will make all things we're waiting on so very beautiful! LORD God, You are the author of all time! The author and finisher of our faith! With a perfect plot and plan for every detail of our days! Thank You for never being a moment late and for Your unfailing faithfulness! In Jesus' mighty name Amen! Hallelujah! Awesome God! Glory be to God!
