God’s Ways
One of the many ways God works is to make His children wait.
Human beings tend to be impatient, but God is very patient. A couple years or
more is nothing to the Lord.
In the Bible, Abraham had to wait twenty-five years before
his promised son was born. The Psalmist David was anointed as the future king
of Israel, and yet he had to wait, hiding from King Saul, before he could sit
on the throne. An old Israelite named Simeon waited all his life for the
Messiah to be born.
I first felt the tug to write novels back in 1986, but my
first book was not published until 2009. That was a long time to wait! (You can
read about my writing journey at my website. Here’s the link: http://www.donnarobinsonbooks.com/about-donna/)
But waiting was good for me. The Lord is more interested in
people’s character than their success. Waiting all those years gave me time to
hone the craft of writing, as well as taking care of my husband and children.
It also made me learn to trust God, knowing His plan for me was best.
Are you going through something right now, and you wish the
Lord would hurry up? Don’t be discouraged. God has a plan for you.
Psalm 27:14 says, “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and
He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord.” (KJV)
