"God is never late . . . but He sure is slow"
"God is never late . . . but He sure is slow" is the title of a column I read today on James Watkins website (He writes humorous/political/Christian columns for various magazines and also has a lot of articles on his website). Here's an excerpt:
"What happened to those “ask and ye shall receive” and “you will be given more than you can think or imagine” promise verses? And what about those TV evangelists who tell us to “name it and claim it”?
Perhaps the problem in not with God’s promises but that God doesn’t deliver by FedEx overnight guaranteed next-day delivery. I’ve found that:
God is never late . . . but He sure is slow
In fact, the screen-saver on my computer is Habakkuk 2:2:
Slowly, steadily, surely the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled.
Sometimes God does answer faster than email on high speed cable."
This is one of the hardest things to deal with as a Christian. There are so many things we pray to God for answers, so many things we think we need in our life. Just because we pray for it, doesn't mean it's necessarily in God's plan to answer it. But also, just because it's not answered right away, doesn't mean He's indifferent. He may be delaying until the appropriate time. Our time is not God's time. His is much better.

Very encouraging! I needed that right now! It seems like waiting for God lasts a long time, but it's just a second for Him. Thanks for the encouragement!
Cheers Luv! : )
