Episode 267 - Learning to Wait

The giant sequoia trees of California are among the largest living things on earth, but they do not become giants overnight. Some have been growing for more than two thousand years. Their strength and size are the result of steady growth over a long period of time.We often want God to work faster. We want immediate answers, quick solutions, and instant results. But Psalm 27:14 says, “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart.” Waiting is not wasted time when we are waiting on God. He often uses seasons of delay to strengthen our faith and prepare us for what comes next.God's timing is always wiser than ours. What feels like a delay may actually be part of His preparation.Today, don't become discouraged because the answer has not come yet. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep waiting on the Lord.
