We all have schedules and some of us still have deadlines to meet and responsibilities at work that have to be done on a certain time. So when are told that God doesn’t work on our timetable, it may boggle our mind. We say to ourselves (and to God, if we are being completely honest), “Look, I know you are busy and I am tryin to wait patiently here, but I need this today, or tomorrow at the latest.” Those words may work with co-workers and might even work with our spouses or other family members. But they don’t work with God because all of time is on HIS schedule, not ours. If we are waiting, then God has a reason for us to wait and something He is doing while we wait. God sees the whole picture while we see a tiny little corner of it and think we know what is going on and what needs to happen within our time limits. God knows exactly what we need and exactly when we need it, so He works on His own timetable, not ours. Disappointing to those of us who are A-type personalities and just want things done right and quickly. God always does things right, but He may not do them as quickly as we tend to demand or the exact way we think it should all be done. Step back in your time of waiting and let God be God…He will do things in His time and in His way and in such a way that you will marvel (or may even forget) your original request.
