So many times in life we are waiting to "see how all our fears and questions are going to play out". (Casting Crowns "Already There") The crib to be filled, the new job to materialize, the wayward child to come home, the marriage to be restored, the soul mate to be found, the illness to be healed, the emotional pain to cease. In the waiting God can seem silent. In the silence, our minds can fall prey the endless dialogue of lies the enemy will feed us to derail our faith. "God's forgotten about me!", "I must not be lovable.", "Where did I go wrong in my parenting?"
The truth of the matter is God is an on time God. God works in us even in his delay.
"Don’t overlook the obvious here, friends. With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day. God isn’t late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn’t want anyone lost. He’s giving everyone space and time to change." 2 Peter 3:9 MSG
My prayer for you is to seek transformation over comfort. Lay your idol at His feet. May you find peace and contentment in the waiting knowing we are called to run the race for His glory with passion, purpose, and perseverance! May these resources be as much of an encouragement to you as they have been to me!
