Well, lately I have been thinking alot about God, and His perfect timing. But I have often asked myself that if God's timing is said to be "perfect", why does it always seem that it comes sooo slow? For some reason we are just a bunch of impatient people, who want everything our way, and want answers at that very second. Sometimes, when I am having a certain problem..I tend to run over to my friends first and ask for their advice, instead of going directly to God...and I think sometimes we do that because with our friends, we will always get an imediate response, or reaction. But with God, although sometimes we might get an imediate response..alot of the time we dont. Which goes back to Gods perfect timing. When we dont get a response immediatly we start to wonder what the heck is taking God sooo long..and why He is being so slow. Then the other day I read Exodus..and about God leading His people into the Promised Land:
"I will send my terror upon all the people whose lands you invade, and they will panic before you. I will send hornets aheade of you to drive out the Hivities, Canaanites, and Hittites." -Exodus 23:27-28
So they would have to endure battles, but God would still grant them victory. Then God goes on to tell them, why His plan would take so long:
"But i will not do this all in one year because the land would become a wilderness, and the wild animals would become to many to control. I will drive them out a little at a time until your population has increased enough to fill the land" -Exodus 23:29-30
At the time, they might not have understood God's timing, and why He wouldnt give them the land all at once...but instead gradually. God knew how much they could handle.. and He didnt give them more than they could handle...and didnt give them any less then they could handle. He delivered the land as He saw fit, knowing when they would be ready for it.
So with me, I often catch myself wishing i could just fast forward my life...and be done with school, and getting into a career..and all the good stuff. But I keep forgetting that in order to get to the future..God has to prepare us for the future. we need to start being hungry for what God is calling us to do right now. By questioning Gods perfect timing we are actually not trusting Him!
"Trust in te Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do and He will direct your Paths" -Proverbs 3:5-6
He's telling is that we dont need to figure things out on our own. We need to listen for God's voice in whatever we do, and wherever we go..and He alone will keep us on track! Believe me I know first hand how hard it is to give God the pen, and let Him write our life story..we tend to forget we're not the authors..we have simply only won the lead role in God's motion picture as His beautiful bride
So, God has just been teaching me that His "slowness" is for our own good. We tend to be over-confident..and sometimes ask for too much to soon. God knows giving us all that we asked for too quickly could be disastrous. Sometimes Gods perfect timing is slower than we want; yet in His wisdom, God gives us, not what we want...but what we need. If God seems slow in answering prayers, remember that He knows what we need, as well as when you need it, even before you know that you need it in the first place. Theres nothing wrong with thinking about the future..we just get sooo focused that we lose an interest for "the now!" I mean yeah, we dont know the future...but we know whos hands hold it..and that should be enough to keep us satisfied. We just have to leave it up to Him, and know that things will happen when there supposed to..and when He wants them too..All we need to do is to have a patient heart..and spill it out the the King Eternal!!!
"Dont worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all He has done" -Philippians 4:6
Im so happy I dont have to go through this alone!!*
