Trust in His Timing
Bible in a Year: Job 41-42; Acts 24
"Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!" — Psalm 27:14
Today's Scripture & Insight: Psalm 27:13-14
Maria, a young mother of two, found herself in a season of waiting. Her husband was looking for a job, and her own job didn't pay for much. She was worried about what would happen in the future. Uncertainty grew from a few days to a few weeks to a few months.
Maria found comfort in Psalm 27:14, which says, "Wait for the LORD; be strong and let your heart be brave; wait for the LORD!"
God's Word tells us that when we have to wait, He is not doing nothing. He is doing things that we may not understand. Even though it's not always easy, having patience helps us grow in our faith and get closer to God.
It's normal to want answers to our problems right away, but God works on His own timetable. Our job is to be brave and strong while we wait, and to trust that God's plans and timing are perfect.
Like Maria, are you in a time of waiting and not knowing what will happen? Have faith in the Lord's plans. Let His strength hold you steady. Don't forget that God is always working, even when we can't see it.
Reflect & Pray
What are you waiting for in your life right now? How can patience and trust in God's timing bring peace in your situation?
Father, thank You for Your perfect timing, even when we feel overwhelmed by uncertainty. Strengthen our hearts as we wait for Your will to unfold. Help us to trust in Your plans, and remind us that You are at work even in the silent times. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
