Waiting can be tough, there’s no doubt about that. Whether we’re waiting for a job, a spouse, a child, a breakthrough, or an answered prayer, it can feel like time is dragging on and on. We may start to question why things are taking so long or wonder what the outcome will be. But, the truth is, God’s timing is perfect and He always knows what’s best for us.

Waiting on God’s perfect timing is so important because it builds our trust in Him. When we wait on His timing, it allows us to trust in His plan for our lives, even when we don’t understand it. It reminds us that He is lord and that He knows what is best for us. We can take comfort in knowing that He is always in control and that He will come through for us in His own time.

Waiting can be difficult, but it helps us to learn to lean on God and to trust in His promise. It can also be a time of growth, both spiritually and emotionally. It can be a time to learn and to become stronger in our faith, as we rely on Him for strength and wisdom. It reminds us that we are not in charge, but that He is and that ultimately He will make things happen in the way He wants.

Additionally, waiting on God’s perfect timing helps us to become more like Christ. The bible said that Jesus, himself, waited on God’s timing. He waited for 30 years before beginning his public ministry and during his public ministry, he taught the virtues of patience and trust in God’s plan. In waiting, we can learn to imitate Jesus’ example of surrendering our own plans and trusting in God’s timing.

It’s important to know that waiting doesn’t mean being passive or inactive. It’s about actively seeking God and His will for our lives, and trusting that He is working everything out for our good. Even in the waiting period, He is at work, shaping our hearts, and preparing us for what is to come.

So, let’s remember that while we may not understand why things are taking so long or what the outcome will be, we can trust that God’s timing is perfect. Let’s lean on God, trust in His plan, and wait on His perfect timing, knowing that He will come through for us in His own time.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psalm 27:13-14
