My knowledge is limited. The things I want so badly to happen or have sooner may not even be God’s will for my life!
My character needs developing. Very few things are responsible for strengthening my character and integrity like having to wait.
My motives require purifying. By not getting what I want, my reasons for doing what I’m doing have to be less about what I can potentially gain and more about obedience to God.
My God is ultimately sovereign. If what I desire is His plan for my life, nothing can thwart or stop His plan from coming to pass.
My God is infinitely powerful. God has every ability to move whatever mountain must be moved for His will to be done in my life.
My God is perfectly loving. God knows exactly what I need, exactly when I need it. And because He loves me, He will get to me what needs to get to me at just the right time, and in the most loving way possible. I trust that God’s perfect love that drives both His generous giving and His gracious withholding.
