“Our Father has reasons peculiar to himself for thus keeping us waiting. Sometimes it is to show his power and his sovereignty, that men may know that Jehovah has a right to give or to withhold. More frequently the delay is for our profit. Thou art perhaps kept waiting in order that thy desires may be more fervent.”

Charles H. Spurgeon · Morning and Evening, December 9 (Morning)

Scripture

Ecclesiastes 3:11 God has made everything beautiful in its time, and has set eternity in the hearts of all men.

Reflection

God's timing is never wrong. His delays are not forgetfulness, but rather a waiting process of love and wisdom. Often, in my eagerness to see results, I forget that God is using delays to shape my faith and obedience. Every moment of waiting is an exercise in faith and a process of spiritual growth. Learn to wait quietly, allowing your heart to be sustained not by anxiety but by trust.
