When you feel like you have been waiting for a long time or don’t seem to ever have enough time, ask God “How can I use the time you have given me more wisely?” “Please Lord, Help me be patient and wait for your timing.”

He desires us to use the time He has given us in a certain way, the way He created it to be used. God never wastes anything, especially the time He has given us. It is God’s waiting room, He reveals what is in my heart, what He desires of me and that I only need to trust in Him. In His waiting room, sometimes I realize, maybe God is really waiting on me? Maybe God is asking me to do something that I have not done yet. Sometimes in our waiting, God reveals to us very convicting, yet valuable lessons. If we didn’t have patience, how could we ever accomplish what God is asking of us? If our patience was never tested, we would never know we needed the patience’s of God to get through what we are going through. We need patience when going through and enduring our trials. Waiting in God’s waiting room, grows our patience. How important it is to grow my patience- If I never had to wait on God, I would never learn how important it is grow my patience. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11ģ. I can almost see God tapping his foot with His hands on His hips, saying “If you just wait for my timing, I will have something so much greater and better ahead for you, Just Wait For ME!” I have learned when I don’t wait on God, I get myself into a whole lot of trouble. My impatience has made me make some not so good choices at times. How many times have you gone ahead of God, looked around and said God ‘where are you?’ Then realize, you never consulted God in the first place? I sure have, many times. He has the best plans ever– If I never waited for God in His timing or always went ahead of Him, I’d never know how great the reward of His plans really are. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9Ģ. Will you trust God with the plans He has for you? God created the heavens and the earth He knows what He’s doing. God’s ways and desires are so much better than ours. When we give God a deadline we are demanding our desires to be God’s desires. Here are three things I have learned.ģ Things I Have Learned From God’s Timing: In God’s Timing I learn,ġ. There are so many lessons we can learn from God’s timing. His delayed responses or answers is not a way to punish us, but a way to help us learn what He is trying to show us. Just as a parent doesn’t give a child everything their heart desires, because they know what is best for their child, is the same thing God does with us. God may answer us with ‘Yes!’, or ‘No,’ or even ‘Not yet, or not now.’ But these in fact are God’s answers to what we ask of Him. I do think God answers our prayers just not always in the way we may want or like. Sometimes waiting in God’s waiting room, He teaches us valuable lessons we would have never learned if we weren’t in waiting. Waiting for answers, waiting for results, waiting for the unknown. I think we all have been there-In God’s waiting room. Have you ever been waiting on God? Waiting for Him to answer a prayer you have been praying for a long time? Have you ever wondered when is God going to answer MY PRAYER? Or is He ever going to respond?
