Ecclesiastes
3:1
"There is a
time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."
NIV
"To
everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
KJV
We all know that
our world's view is one of instant gratification, instant answers, instant
closure. Technology is geared to develop faster processors, quicker
communication, and instant knowledge. This is not God's way. It is our God who
governs the right time for all things and how they will come about. We might
have high speed Internet, but when we pray to the Lord for an answer to our
situations, we wait on Him to work it out in His time and in His way, because it
is His will and His good pleasure to make it perfect and to be glorified in it.
When we allow our God to work things out in His time, we can know beyond a
shadow of a doubt that it is right and it is perfect timing.
Heavenly Father,
how weak we are that we pray for answers and say that we trust You for the
answers, then we complain and become worrisome that the answer isn't here now.
Help us to wait in quiet confidence that You have time for everything and a
purpose for our waiting for it. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

This reminded me of this verse from 2 Corinthians 6:17: Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord. I love being on the Lord's side!
