We often want answers now, breakthroughs today, and promises fulfilled yesterday. But God works on a different timetableâone marked by wisdom, not urgency. His delays are not denialsâthey're divine designs.
âHe has made everything beautiful in its time.â (Ecclesiastes 3:11) âWait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.â (Psalm 27:14)
Godâs timing teaches us patience, deepens our faith, and prepares us for blessings we couldnât carry too soon. While we wait, He works. While we wonder, He weaves every detail into something far greater than we could imagine.
Itâs hard to wait, especially when youâre hurting or confused. But God is never rushed, never late, and never indifferent. His timing is perfectânot because it matches our plans, but because it fulfills His purpose.
You may not understand the delay, but you can trust the One who holds the clock.
đ Prayer: A Prayer for Trusting Godâs Timing
Father, I confess, I donât always understand Your timing. Waiting is hard. But I choose to trust Youâeven when the clock is silent and the answers are slow.
Teach me to rest in Your wisdom, not my own impatience. Remind me that every delay has purpose, and that You are never late.
I trust Your timing, Lordâbecause I trust Your heart.
In Jesusâ name,
 Amen.
