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.
