This message is part of a group of teachings that I have entitled, “The Process of Salvation”. The first of these was the previous message that was released last week entitled, “God’s Drawing, Leading, and Pursuit – Know the Difference”. Both the blog entry and podcast versions can be found at www.INTRUTH.site
It is no big secret that God takes His time doing things (with patience) and that this often involves working things out through processes that He has, no doubt, designed to yield a just and perfect result every time. Ever wonder why God did not make the earth and everything therein in a split-second of time? He could have, right? But no, He chose to perform that work in 6 days, and then to rest. Why is that?
Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
The more we learn of the spiritual realm through His Word, we can also see how that God has no beginning or ending. Basically, time does not exist where God resides, yet He chooses to do things through patience. I am not sure that we can fully understand His patience in work from our vantage point, but it is clear that He does like things to be done a certain way. He definitely has His own methods. Doing things in a ‘methodical way’, over a period of time, is called a “process”.
1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
2 Peter 3:8-9 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
