Modernity is fantastic. We are living in an age where everything is done in an instant, at the snap of our fingers.

Life is fast-paced, with more being achieved because the advancement of technology enables us to take dreaming up a notch, procreate reality in a different dimension than in the time of our grandparents.

I sincerely love it.

However, like it or not, that isn't always the case with God.

I am pretty sure most of the time, instant isn't a popular term in God's big book of vocabulary.

Last time I checked, patience was written in bold.

Due to the era we are living in, most of us complain even if we have to wait 30seconds longer at a fast-food outlet.

Likewise, we expect the same thing when we are asking from God, wherein direction is sought after or for an answered prayer.

We use the (what I coin to be) overrated proverb, Time Is Precious. We cook up excuses and say, it is our need when it is more of our want-s.

Learn to wait on Him, build reliance on Him.

Going ahead of God's timing will procure mistakes, sometimes costly mistakes.

When that happens, many a times regret floods in and the all too familiar "I wish I would have just be more patient and waited, instead of .........." would be uttered in a sombre tone.

Just as the waiting patiently part is vital, understand that God's timing does not necessarily align with a perfect fit to our desired timing.

Wait patiently all the same, because (I love this verse, found in Ecclesiastes 3:10. It has brought much joy to my heart)
"He has made everything beautiful in His time."

Waiting patiently and loving it,
M.
