God’s Perfect Timing

God has His own sense of timing: ‘With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day’ (2 Peter 3:8). He has perfect timing: never early, never late. God is never in a hurry, but He is always on time.

But what do you do while you are waiting for God to do what he has promised to do?

Psalm 135:13–14

Your name, LORD, endures forever,

your renown, LORD, through all generations.

For the LORD will vindicate his people

and have compassion on his servants.

When your prayers don’t seem to be answered, you may be tempted to stop trusting the Lord and start chasing other ‘gods’.

The great biblical truth is that you become like that in which you put your trust. If you trust in God, you will be filled with life and joy as you become like Him.

Remain totally dependent on God and look for Him to vindicate you. When things aren’t working out as you wish, be patient. Stop trying to move ahead of God. His timing is perfect. Trust Him.
