Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God."
If you've been praying for God to send you the right partner or for a better job, or to change the heart of a rebellious child, remember, whether He changes the situation or changes you, He will fulfil His purpose for you. God sees the big picture, and He loves you so much that He makes, "All things work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28).
We talk about waiting on God. But He also waits on us until we're ready to receive...until we've made sufficient preparations in our heart...until we're free from resentment and discontent...until our maturity level is appropriate and our understanding elevated. Sometimes He waits until we think He's forgotten us just to test and grow our faith. Remember, "...With the Lord a day is like a thousand years..." (2 Peter 3:8).
Eternity is His backdrop and He can solve a problem in a minute, or in two generations. Isaiah says, "The Lord longs to be gracious to you...Blessed are all who wait for Him." (Isaiah 30:18) Wait! Don't get ahead of God and you'll experience His best.
