Wait! Don’t Be In A Hurry–Part 2

Never in a hurry; always on time

Don’t be in a hurry for everything. When you need to move fast, do so. When you need to slow down, allow process to take its course. A baby conceived today is not deliver the next day. It takes nine month for the fetus to mature fully. Apart from noodles and all fast foods, every other foods need time to cook.

God needs time to work on you so that you come out the best. This is not because God is constrained but because we are limited and are not in control of everything.

Samuel waited under Eli before becoming a priest. Joseph waited for about thirteen years (13-year) before his dream came true. Moses waited for forty years (40-year) in the wilderness, and Jesus waited for thirty-three and a half years before he achieved His purpose–to save mankind. Therefore, I say to you, do not be in a hurry with your life. Quick things usually fade away quickly.

Wait, and again I say, wait!

Wait! Don’t Be In A Hurry–Part 1

Never in a hurry; always on time

In the world we live in, everything is at a fast pace. We are often encouraged to be fast and smart. This becomes a competitive advantage. We try to outdo others as much as possible.

God, however, is not like this. God is very patient and long-suffering. He takes His time. In fact, if not for His patience, man will not be in existence. He was not in a rush during creation. Each day had a new task, and the work of creation was carefully completed.

We are encouraged to wait on God. The psalmist says, ” wait, and again I say wait.” His time is usually different from our time. And unlike us, He is never in a hurry. So, we might as well wait if we want a good result from Him.

Let’s put it this way–if God is not done working, then we should not be tired of waiting. The work done hurriedly is often not done properly but the work crafted carefully last long.

 

Seasons Reminder

Season Reminder

A current season only reminds us that another season will come. Snowtime only reminds us that the Spring will come and when the Springs finally arrives, we know that the summer is in the corner.

The rain only reminds us that the flowers will soon sprout. And the hard soil reminds us that we should wait a little more and the rain will soften the hard crust.

It is appropriate that a farmer who has spent the early Spring planting to expect harvesting in the Fall.

A hardworking student gets success. Diligent entrepreneurs experience business growth and profit. A loving husband enjoys his marital home, and a caring wife wins the love of his lover.

The present problems and challenges of life are just a reminder that the glorious season will come, and we will smile again.

Weeping endures only for a moment, but joy comes in the morning.

Challenges are just a reminder that we can patiently find the solution that makes for a better living.

Challenges are a season, and it will pass. When you have the desired results, and the solutions are in your hands, your season of rejoicing is here.

Understanding the Season; understanding the time.

Understanding the Season

The most important virtue needed in preparation for the right time is Waiting.

Sowing comes before harvesting. Winter always comes before Spring and a child must be born to live as a king.

It took Jesus years to fulfill His mission on earth. God, I have observed, is a God of process.

Patience is needed to achieve the desired result. Unfortunately, we are always in a hurry. God is never in a hurry.

If God is not done working, then we should patiently wait on Him to finish His work.
The season requires time to manifest. And time is a concept we cannot change.

Promises are seeds

Promises are Seeds

Promises are like seeds. They take time to manifest. Promises are for an appointed time. When the time comes, they materialized and everybody can see results in form of fruits.

So, hold onto the promises and work on them by meditating, thinking of these promises until you can see with your inner eyes as they come alive.
