Wait For God's Timing

From: Devotionals By Oswald Chambers

 

John 13:37 "Peter said to Him, ’Lord, why can I not follow You now?’"

 

There are times when you can’t understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings a time of waiting, and appears to be unresponsive, just wait. Never run before God gives you His direction. If you have the slightest doubt, then He is not guiding. Whenever there is doubt...wait.

 

At first you may think you see clearly what God’s will is...the severance of a friendship, the breaking off of a business relationship, or something else you feel is distinctly God’s will for you to do. But never act on simply the impulse of that feeling. If you do, you will cause difficult situations to arise which may take years to untangle.

 

Wait for God’s timing and He will do it without any heartache or disappointment. When it is a question of the providential will of God, wait for God to move.
