Let us not become weary in doing good,

for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9

We have all heard it a thousand times. In our day in age we don’t like to wait. We want things to work out now.

We don’t have patience with people when they do things wrong instead we may categorize them as no good.

We don’t have patience when we have to wait on our food for too long. The list could go on and on.

But we have need of patience when God is working things out in our lives.

We can’t judge things by what may appear to be going on because underneath the surface God may be doing something completely different.

Sometimes we have to wait through difficult circumstances, hurtful scenarios, and things that don’t look like what we want in order to finally reach the place where the things in our lives iron out.

If we make decisions solely based on the here and now, we won’t make kingdom decisions.

Kingdom decisions require a different type of trust. The type of trust that knows what I am seeing now is not the final result so I am going to wait a little while, observe the circumstances, keep the faith and watch as things slowly turn in my favor.

It doesn’t always happen in the blink of the eye, sometimes God is taking you the long way around the bush in order to develop and mold you and the other people involved in your story.

So don’t be upset if you have to wait a little while, instead use this time to become even more fruitful than you already are and to rest softly in his hands.
