God's timing is one of the great mysteries of this life.
The bottom line is, it is His business and not ours. We would do things so differently. And of course, there is not a chance we would choose His timing. We want to see the horizoned rescue at the instant of distress. Our choice would be to avoid all waiting.
Here is the question: is there any possibility that His way is less complete? Less good for us?
Have you heard anything stranger than waiting for the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees? Why should you wait when your muscles are bulging, your energy is high and your weapons are gleaming? Can't we put everything in order now?
Soldier of The Cross, this life is about earning to agree with God. First we come under the Blood and then we get to know Him. We follow and obey Him. Learning to obey is not an overnight process.
Learning to obey is far, far more threatening to the flesh than putting the pieces together by sight.
Learning to obey is not cheap.
Learning to obey is a discipline that allows the Lord to use every aspect of your life.
Learning to obey begets learning to obey.
While He cares about each detail and rescues us Today, He is preparing us to be with Him forever and forever. It takes the fire and the flood to bring up the deepest things that must be laid at His feet.
What do you really want? The problem solved as quickly as possible?
Or, can He be trusted to create Glory out of what feels like impending failure?
You must tell Him you want His way in His time, over all else.
Aloud. Today.
