In His Time
“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret— it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the LORD, They shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;” (Psalm 37:7-10).
We don’t like the word “rest”; do we? We’re always running around pulling up our radishes by the roots to see how they’re growing, and then cramming them back into the ground. And yet Isaiah tells us, “And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and
therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for Him” (Isaiah 30:18). And you know Isaiah 40:31 also! You’re not going to hurry God because- He is not interested in time! He’s interested in His timing! Lean back, watch, wait, and trust. He knows what He is doing!
Thank God for the process of waiting. Thank God that He has heard every one of your prayers. Thank Him that He has not forgotten you. Thank Him for this opportunity He has given you to grow in trusting Him by waiting. Thank Him for His sovereignty. Thank Him that He knows better than you, what you need and what is best for you. Thank Him for He is fulfilling His promises He has given you! Thank God for the victory He is giving you!
