Up to God
“But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about His promise, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake...” - 2 Peter 3:8-9
Don’t give up on God because He has a plan. It takes patience and time in the presence of God to recognize His will for your life. Time spent waiting on God is never wasted. We often think that God is not moving fast enough or that our will is better for us than His will.
However, we can only see one step in front of us. God sees the whole staircase. God protects us from danger and hurt and redirects us on a path that will not only make our lives fulfilling, but it will also carry out His will for us.
2 Peter 3:8-9 reminds us that God’s timing is not our timing. We may believe that our dreams have reached their expiration date, but God is saying that there is a time and a season for everything.
He wants all His children to be Kingdom workers and He knows that sometimes our waywardness and personal will prevents us from being the most effective. There is growth to actualize and lessons to learn on this journey of life.
God’s promises are sure. But they are also on time, His time. He is never early, and He is never late. There is a perfect time for everything, but that time is up to God. Do you trust His timing?
