It's ridiculous the number of times I've said this or thought this very same thing. The truth of the matter is, that as humans we have this instinct to want things to go our way in our time, which is normally five minutes ago. But, realistically this hardly ever happens, and for a good reason too. That reason is GOD.
He has this plan for our lives, and I know that can sound cheesy to some, but it's true. Very rarely do we get to see this plan He has for us. And, too often we get fed up with waiting. We're all guilty of it at some point, including Sarah in Genesis 18. She was ninety years old when God told Abraham that Sarah would have a child. She actually laughed at God when she heard this. All those years of hoping and praying for a child had made Sarah doubt God's plan. But, she learned a very important lesson. God has his own timing, and He does not rush it for us and our impatient beings. No, God lets things happen when He's ready. This wonderful, loving, merciful Father knows what is best for us and wants to help us. Our duty as His children is to follow His commandents and stay faithful to Him.
Genesis 18:1-15
Jeremiah 29:11
