There are seasons in life that seem like the waiting period is taking forever. Its like being at the dentist office and everyones name has been called but yours. You keep looking at the door and no one is showing up and calling your name. You feel left out, like you have been forgotten, and you wonder if you should have come in at all. You consider rescheduling for a different time.

How often do we become impatient in our own lives just like this? The very things we wish to have, we look around and see that other people are having their names called first. You have been waiting longer than them so you wonder how this could be.

There are many “excuses” not to trust God in our lives but there are never any reasons. There is never a reason not to trust God. He always knows what is best and he is always the best one to have the job of being in control.

If it was up to us we would run headfirst into the things we really want without the preparation needed to get there. God is not so easily apt to give when it doesn’t make sense. He usually waits until the time is right, until people are finally listening to him, and they are finally letting him do the work he wanted to do in their hearts all along. This isn’t because he is some big bad God who doesn’t want to bless people.

No, he is just waiting on us to get into alignment with him. And from there, he can show us why it is always appropriate to trust him.
