God's Timer and Thermostat

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

When will I get the new promotion, when will I find my marriage partner, when will my kid get right with God, when will I come out of this valley, when will this test end?

All of us want to see God do it now. "Let us not be weary in well doing but in due season you shall reap if you faint not." (Galatians 6:9)

One of the fruits of the spirit is patience. Without it you will find yourself producing Ishmaels. Abraham got tired of waiting on God, so he thought he would give Him some assistance. Sarah said take Hagar, she will give you a son.

Abraham took Hagar and she gave them Ishmael. For 13 years there was a cosmic void in his heart and marriage. After years of misery God said; "Walk before me and be thou perfect." (Genesis 17:1)

God is saying; "Chill out, settle down." God's timetable isn't yours, but His timing is perfect. "To everything there is a season and every purpose under the heavens." Years ago I made some brownies; I wanted them so bad I took them out a bit early. They were all gooey and undone. Friend if God takes us out of the heat and pressure to soon, it will interfere with the finish product that He is planning and working on in our future.

God has his hand on the timer and the thermostat. He does know what He is doing. Yes you may have a season that your heart is uneasy. You're waiting for the breakthrough, the miracle, the heavens to open up for your dream. But remember God is working on your patience and your character make-up.

When Abraham listen, God said now Sarah will have a son, and it will be the one that I have ordained. Isaac came in their late years. Impossible with man but nothing is impossible with God. God is the same yesterday today and forever. Isaac was the promise that had been given and he came in God's timing.

God hasn't forgotten you and the dreams He has placed within your heart. It's all about His timing and the character and faith He's constructing in your life. Faint not, and He will bring it to past.
