2 Peter 3:8-9 (NKJV) 8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise…
How many of us have waited for God to deliver us from a situation that we thought was never going to end? Or how about situations that we had no idea were going to happen to us, but when they did, it seemed like we were walking through the fires of hell itself?
We all go through trials and tough times. And every single one of us, when these things are happening, wishes that they would end quickly. Sometimes we may even question God and wonder why He doesn’t swoop down and rescue us from our trials.
But here’s the thing. God doesn’t think the way we think. We think with finite, limited minds. God thinks with infinite wisdom and understanding. He knows the solutions to our problems before we even know we have a problem.
The problem isn’t with God and His unwillingness to help us. The problem is with us not hearing Him properly or following His leading. Sometimes… most times, we just plain miss it. God is always there with an answer or solution, but it usually takes us time to get to the point where we will hear what He says and then do it.
God always comes through. Always. It’s just not always the way we think He should come through, or in the timing that we think is correct.
So have patience, and most importantly, let’s listen for the voice of God and obey it. Once we do this, it will be surprising how fast things can turn around for us.
