Lamentations 3:25-26 reminds us that it is good to wait quietly for God. But for most of us, waiting patiently for Him is difficult. Why? Because we are fallible human beings with a long list of earthly desires and a definite timetable for obtaining them.
The next time you find yourself impatiently waiting for God to reveal Himself, remember that the world unfolds according to His timetable, not ours.
Sometimes, we must wait, and when we do, we should do so quietly and patiently. And, as we consider God's love for us and the perfection of His plans, we can be comforted in the certain knowledge that His timing is perfect, even if our patience is not.
Reflect On This:
Patience means waiting for God faithfully, hopefully, and prayerfully, But patience also means being willing to accept God's timetable, not our own. -Marie T. Freeman
