Waiting is the hardest thing to do. It is difficult to wait upon God to act even though I know He is faithful to fulfill His promises. God takes His word seriously. He doesn't say things that He doesn't mean. Maybe it's hard to understand how God's character works because it is so different than our own. God is not human! He doesn't struggle with flakiness and unreliability, if anything, God is waiting on me to trust Him so that He can work in my life. So all this time I spend thinking I am waiting upon the Lord to act, He is actually waiting for me!
I have seen God act in my life. I can honestly point to many things that have happened and say they were direct results of God delivering on what He said He was going to do. The road may have been treacherous and longer than I expected, but ultimately God brought me to the place He wanted me to be. And yet, like a little child, I am here again asking Him how long will I have to wait. I am constantly reminded of the relationship I have with God through my little sister. She, as darling as she is, struggles with impatience. I get impatient with her impatience! Thankfully, God is not human and doesn't loose his cool with me like I, as sad as it is to admit, lose my cool with my sister. God wants us to wait because the people we can become through waiting will make us better prepared for what we are waiting for! I want to be married, and God knows it's one of the strongest desires of my heart. He also knows the person I want to be before I get married, and He and I are working on it. I am confident that He will deliver the right husband if I am willing to wait and become the right wife. All good things come in God's timing, not my own!
