Years ago things took time to accomplish. Phone calls weren't always answered because a person was out of the house. Food was prepared slowly. Shoes and clothes were handmade. Mail took weeks to deliver across country. In today's world we can reach a person's cellphone in seconds. We can be in and out of the drive-thru line in minutes. Machines make our clothes and shoes. And mail can reach the other side of the country in one day. We expect immediacy.
But God doesn't work that way. He takes His time. We can get frustrated. We can pace all we want. But shouldn't we just wait for Him to move? If He's in control of everything, then His timing is perfect, and all we do is waste energy waiting for Him to fit our timetable when that isn't going to happen.
So next time you make a request of God, give Him some time to work. It will save you loads of frustration and stress.
