Waiting on gods timing1/3/2024 ![]() ![]() This is why we can’t look at material blessings, relationship blessings, or even just how we feel. How will you know, though, if the waiting and trusting is doing you good? Sometimes we don’t know what is good for us. When you wait and trust God’s plan, Lamentations 3:25-26 promises good will occur. You could be waiting and trusting, but you could be waiting and trusting in something besides God’s counsel to you. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” If the waiting is not doing you good, you are not waiting on God. Lamentations 3:25-26 states, “The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. Sometimes God is not telling you to wait for the promotion but rather he’s telling you to look for a different job entirely. If the Waiting and Trusting Is Doing You Goodīut how will you know if you are just waiting for something God never told you to wait for? Many people wait for years for a certain person they believe is their future spouse, but they wait in vain and they never marry that person. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”ģ. As Romans 8:27-28 explains:Īnd he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. But we always need to trust his plan and timing. We won’t always know why God is telling us to do something or not do something. Perhaps you go on a date with a guy you are not attracted to, but you fall in love with his personality and character and over time your physical attraction grows. Perhaps after you pursue the woman you thought would reject you, she does reject you but through this process you gain a new confidence not to fear rejection, which helps you pursue a different woman who ends up being your spouse. Perhaps in a year, you will see that if you took that promotion, you would have been caught up in a huge business scandal. It’s in these moments where we need to obey anyways. I’m just saying there are times in life where God tell us what to do but we are not totally sure why God is telling us to do this thing (or not do this thing). I’m not saying you should always do the opposite of what you want. Sometimes God will tell you to give a man a chance even though you think you could never be attracted to him. Sometimes God will tell you to pursue that woman even though you sense she’s not interested. Sometimes you will know God does not want you to take that promotion even though the money would be great. If God Has Told You What to Do But He’s Not Shown You Why You Should Do It ![]() Thus, when you desire something only God can give, the only right response is to trust his plan and timing for you.Ģ. Acts 1:7, “He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.”.2 Peter 3:8, “But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”.If it seems slow, wait for it it will surely come it will not delay.” Habakkuk 2:3, “For still the vision awaits its appointed time it hastens to the end-it will not lie.But even the results connected to these steps are dependent on God’s timing: Of course this does not mean there won’t be steps of faith to take (James 2:17). I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” Only Jesus can heal your heart. Acts 17:25 (NIV), “And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Proverbs 19:14, “House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.” Only the Lord can give you the material provisions you need. Only God can give you a spiritually mature spouse. If You Are After Something Only God Can Give You So here are 4 signs the Lord is saying, “All you need to do is trust my plan and timing.”ġ. Sometimes God will say, “Get to work! Stop waiting! You need to take these steps I’ve told you to take and then I will do what you want me to do.”Īt other times, however, you will have done what you can and the Lord will be telling you to just have faith and to wait. ![]()
