George Washington is often featured in the history books as an elderly gent with a long-suffering expression as he stares vaguely but benevolently out at a cast of soldiers or politicians.
Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
In between asking God for something and receiving what we asked for, there is a gap of time where we can become angry, confused, and hopeless waiting for God to answer our prayer. Because God is a loving Father, He will never give us a position or possession that our immaturity could sabotage. When you ask God for something, you won’t get the thing you asked for right away, instead you will get a journey to get you ready for the thing you’re asking for. Tim Dilena powerfully shares that while you’re waiting, ask God to grow you and trust that God’s timing is the best timing for you.
