Episode 156: Patience With God’s Timing

As the Christian grows in his or her relationship with God, eventually the issue of His timing will arise. Why God does not honor our presumed sense of appropriate timing has been a source of struggle for countless believers. More often than not, we feel that He moves too slowly in things wherein we sense an urgency. Impatience arises in our hearts with circumstances, difficult people, and, yes, even God himself. Today’s episode helps us think through what is at the root of our impatience. What does your restlessness communicate to God? Are you recognizing the means by which He is working to mature you in the area of living in patience? While this topic will certainly stretch us, we cannot avoid the reality that God owns both the clock and the calendar, and we must learn to align with His chosen timing in our lives.
