"What does it mean when an eternal God says that you want have to wait long to see your promise or answer?" Jonathan Lewis (Sunday morning lesson)

    I have pondered that statement many times this week. It is interesting to say the least.

    God... Timeless... Eternal... No constraints... From ever lasting to ever lasting... One day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like as one day...

    Humanity... So finite... insignificant... small... life like a vapor...

    So what does it mean? It means that we don't have the answer. However, it also means that the fact that we don't know should not frighten us. It should bring a certain level of comfort. It means that He holds it all in His hands, and His timing is perfect because He knows every detail of the past, present, and future together. It means that I can literally quit worrying and merely trust Him to work out the details in accordance with what He, in His infinite wisdom, sees what is best for me. It means that my timing rarely works to my advantage, but I have a Father who lovingly works on my behalf.

    At times, we lose sight of that because we are impatient, stubborn, selfish, and fearful... Human... But when the answer comes, it's worth every moment of waiting. He always makes sure of that...

    So, wait patiently and know that YOUR God is in control, working every detail for your good. Trust Him...
