Faith & Patience



It is easier to choose doing overwhelming task than to wait. What if God is says you need to wait & have faith that all you desire according to His plan will come to pass? 

God’s clock is not the same as ours, nor will His time frame synchronize ours. When we can no longer wait and our patience runs weary, it is our usual inclination to do things on our own and forgot that God has a better plan. He is a builder, not a magician. And He cannot compromise His own timing just because His child can no longer wait. 

We have different desires and most of us would like to have them as fast as high speed internet. We might realize that we have waited long enough for the person we wish to marry, or a job or position we wish to have in a company, or might be a simple gadget like ipod or laptop--- but God is insisting it’s not yet the right time. What we will do? Are we going to force things on our own way and neglect God’s message? 

Remember when God teaches us to do something; it is not for Him but for us. Everything He does or anything He allows to happen has a purpose. God does not have a business of explaining why he’s doing that. We just cannot question God why he’s doing that. He is all-knowing and no amount of human reasons would ever … 

It’s not easy to wait. We humans are naturally impatient. But let’s take the examples of great names of the Bible who waited in patience & trust in God and they were greatly blessed. Abraham waited for 15 years before God gave him Isaac only to be commanded God would need Isaac as his offering. David waited for many years too before he became a great king. 

Are we on the stages of waiting right now? We all do... How long? We cannot determine how long we have been waiting. God waited 33 years before he allowed Jesus to minister & fulfill His mission. But we need to wait and trust God that whatever happens, God will execute and finish His plans.
