Has God ever been slow in your life? Have you ever pondered the delays of God?
He is never in a hurry, but once He starts to work, watch out! He patiently accomplish as His work. If right now it seems as though God is tarrying instead of working, if it seems as though He is delaying instead of acting. V.4 encourages us to seek him and wait on Him and love Him. David, when he was sinking , said, “I . . . .will magnify Him with Thanksgiving” (Ps.69:30).
Here‘s a good lesson for us. When God is not moving as rapidly as we think He should, what should we do? Rejoice in Him, love Him and magnify Him. Let Him worry about the timetable. God is always working, and we know that all things are working together for good (Rom.8:28). But He waits for the right time to reveal His victories. Let Him watch the clock.
God delays are a part of your character-building process. When God gives you a delay, encourage yourself by remembering that He never stops working for you, and He knows when and how to help you.
