Learning How To Wait On God. Are You Trying To Get God To Move In "Your Timing" with "His Plan"?

Are you trying to rush God?    Are you trying to get Him to move in "your timing" with "His plan"?   Have you ever stopped to think about the fact that it is His plan and because it is His plan, He has set in place the timing for the fullness of His plan to be seen.

In this world, we have a microwave mentality.   We want it NOW and God says in His Word to wait on the Lord and to be of good courage.   He says that those that wait on Him will renew their strength.   He says to be still and to know that He is God.   He says to rest in Him and to wait patiently for Him.   He says that the vision is for an appointed time and the end shall speak and not lie.    He says that if we wait patiently for Him, His ear is inclined to hear our cry.  

We have to understand that waiting on God is part of our process.   A process is a series of steps we take in order to achieve an expected end.   So don't get lost in the process.   Don't give up because it's not happening as soon as or as quick as you would like for it to happen.  Continue to trust and believe God.  Continue to wait on Him.  Remember, God is not a man and He cannot lie.   What He has said, He will do if we continue to walk in obedience to Him and His Word.
