Timing Is Everything: God’s Plans Are Perfect
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Hebrews 6:15
Recommended Reading: Hebrews 6:13-19
Faith is the attitude we adopt between the time God gives us a promise and the moment when it’s fulfilled. We don’t live with instant gratification of every desire, nor are we able to instantly solve every painful difficulty. What we can do, however, is to search God’s Word for the promises He longs for us to claim. We follow the example of Abraham: “Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised” (Hebrews 6:15, NLT).
Henry T. and Richard Blackaby wrote, “The timing of God’s answer is crucial. We mistakenly assume the moment God reveals his will everything must happen immediately. Sometimes God gives us a glimpse of what he plans to do in the future. It is critical, however, that we trust him to carry out his plans in the right timing. The worst thing to do is to take matters into our own hands.”[1]
The Lord doesn’t always answer our prayers immediately, but He can and will give us inner reassurance that He knows our need, feels our pain, and is quietly working in ways we cannot see.
God never acts prematurely, and he is never late. God’s timing never leaves things unfinished, and it always produces the maximum effect. Henry and Richard Blackaby
