God's delay is not a denial

Have you been through storms in your life, or been waiting on a dream come true or an illness to cure, and it seems like God's not there?  I have been and at the time, it seems like God is saying no to my prayer request.  When, in reality, our timeline is not the same as God's.  You've heard the cliché, "things happen for a reason," when in reality, they happen on God's timing. God is never late and He's never early.  His timing is always right on time.


This concept may be hard to understand, especially if you don't have a relationship with God.  But trust is the key to all of this.  If you don't trust God in His timing, then you're going to be impatient and worry because things aren't happening on your timeline.


Isaiah 40:31 - "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." 


I couldn't agree with the verse above had it not come true in my life.  Wait on God.  It's totally worth it.  It may not be pleasant, but you can trust that what He says He will do, will come to fruition.


God's delay will cause your faith to strengthen and your trust in Him to blossom!
