“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1
To enjoy your walk with God and avoid feelings of frustration, you need to recognize that God has His own timetable for everything that occurs in the life of every individual.
Abraham cut corners to have a son in Ismael, and the whole world is still paying dearly for it Genesis 16. If only he had waited for God’s own timing! In spite of what he did, God was still faithful to His promise of giving him a son through Sarah; his hasty act was therefore unnecessary.
King Saul also offered a sacrifice which he was not supposed to because he could not wait for God’s appointed time, and this marked the beginning of the end for him 1 Samuel 13:7-14.
In order not to fall into the same error, we must receive David’s counsel in Psalm 37:7a, which says: “Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him:”
May the Lord grant you the grace to wait for His perfect timing in Jesus name.
Father, please grant me the grace not only to know Your timing but to also wait for it IJN.
Shalom!
Amen
