It’s funny how we understand and accept things when looking back, but not when we’re waiting, hoping and praying. However, I’m amazed at the amount of peace, love and grace we enjoy in our union because God prepared us for each other. I’m not saying that we have a perfect relationship now. But by the time we met, God has already done a lot of work in our hearts to prepare us to serve each other. For example, with my husband: If we had met earlier, I’m convinced that our relationship would have been a big mess. Peter 3:8Įxperience has taught me that God’s timing has been perfect in many areas of my life. Give it to me, God!“ But it seems like we forget that God isn’t pressured by time.īut do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. And what’s the habitual response? “I want it now. It could be that you prayed for something in particular and guess what years went by and seemingly nothing happened. It’s also very easy to get frustrated with God. How I admire people who have the patience to wait in peace for the right time or see things through! I’ve been falling into this trap over and over again. To be honest with you, I’m definitely a creature of our time. Maybe you’re waiting for something bigger like a spouse, to get a baby, for a promotion, a situation to change, and so on. This habit can lead to a lot of dissatisfaction and anger when we don’t get something as quickly as we might think we deserve it.
If we want to buy something but don’t have the money, we can just swipe our credit card and off we go with a new watch or whatever. If we want to contact someone from around the world, we can just give them a call, instead of writing a letter and waiting weeks to get a response. We don’t want to wait in a line to pay for something or for the pedestrian traffic light to cross a street. In today’s world, we are used to getting things fast.
