God’s timing

Isaiah_40-31: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint

Psalms_62-1: Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation

Psalm 27:7-14

Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.

 
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.

 
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.

 
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.

 
11 Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.

 
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.

 
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.

 
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.

It’s always best to follow God’s timing. But if we run ahead of God or lag behind Him, that decision will often be costly.
Self-sufficiency moves us outside of the Lord’s will. The right thing done at the wrong time may leave us vulnerable to Satan’s schemes and can delay or even derail blessings God has planned for us. Acting on our own timetable can also bring confusion to us and others, as situations are likely to turn out differently from how we envisioned them. Then we may be facing not only unanticipated results but also problems.
By refusing to wait on God, we often cause ourselves unnecessary grief. For example, if we use credit cards to purchase unneeded clothes, electronic devices, and other indulgences, debt could pile up beyond our ability to pay. Then our credit rating would plummet, with little financial relief in sight. But when we manage money in accordance with biblical principles, our lifestyle will be less lavish, but we’ll have freedom and peace of mind.
And here’s another example: Quitting a job before the Lord has released us from it can short-circuit what He planned to teach us through it. We might subsequently discover that, had we held on a while longer, God might have changed either our circumstances or our attitude about the situation.
Certain character qualities are necessary if we are to develop a lifestyle of waiting on the Lord. We need patience to endure our present situation, steadfastness to carry out current responsibilities, and courage to trust the Lord as we await His solution in the midst of our discomfort. How good are you at waiting?
