Is God truly tarrying in giving His answer?

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Is God truly tarrying in giving His answer?

Have you ever had to wait in a doctor, hairdresser, or restaurant’s waiting room? Sometimes the wait is bearable… you consider it to be reasonable. Other times it’s too much… too long… too many people. You don’t want to wait any longer! You want to get out of this waiting room!
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” (The Bible, Ecclesiastes 3:11)

How much time between the promise and when it comes to pass? Has God forgotten you? Is He holding out on you? Did He lie? The sure answer to these questions is no, of course not.

God cannot forget you, and He is certainly not making fun of you, ignoring you, or callously keeping something good from you. So…what is happening? The wait is a step that’s an integral part of the fulfilment of the promise, of the call. The wait and the promise are inseparable.

It’s in the waiting room that your character is shaped and formed. It’s in this room that you gain strength and stability. It’s in the secret place of His presence that your intimacy with the Lord grows.

You learn to better know Him, to distinguish the sound of His voice from a thousand others. Thus, when it’s time to move to the next step, the higher place, you’re ready for what awaits you when God opens the door.

Wait patiently in quietness and trust because God’s divine promise is on its way!
