HIS TIMING
Ecc 3:11 He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME;Also he has put eternity into mans mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
Earlier I had started a talk on the #InMyGeneration...and one of the many things that stand out in my generation is that we live in what I'd call 'microwave times'. Times that we want things 'ASAP'; The generation of instant stuff-Instant tea,Instant coffe,instant food,instant download...we cannot even read long texts...I mean 4g is cooler than 3G right? Just because it's 10times faster..so they claim. Well all that is not bad..We are remaining relevant in our times...We would support!
Now,the problem comes in when we try to take the same 'instantness' in prayer and start questioning God. Patience is a virtue many of us don't possess. We fail to trust in Gods promises and start questioning Him when we don't get an 'instant answer'. We fail to understand Phil1:6,that when He said that I who started the good work in will be faithful to bring it to completion.
A good friend of mine told me a quote that keeps me going each day that GOD MAY NOT DO WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT BUT WHEN HE DOES IT WHEN HE WANTS IT, IT WILL BE WHAT I WANTED ALL ALONG!
I pray that we will cultivate the virtue of patience and learn to trust and rest in His assurance and promises!
God bless!
