October 30  His Timing Is Perfect The Lord is wonderfully good to those who wait for him and seek him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord. Lamentations 3:25-26 In a fast-moving culture such as ours in which time is measured in nanoseconds and sound bites, waiting in traffic or in the doctor’s office longer than we had planned can mess up our schedule.  We become irritated when things don’t happen according to our agenda.  And we can become just as frustrated with God when he doesn’t seem to answer our prayers as soon as we’d hoped or move in a needy situation according to our timetable.   Sometimes we pray our requests and then turn and run out of the prayer closet before we can hear God’s answer.  But this passage tells us the great benefit of learning to wait on the Lord – both waiting for his timing and just waiting in his presence, spending moments being quiet and waiting to hear his “still, small voice.”  God is wonderfully good to those who wait for him and continue to seek him. Lord, quiet my heart and mind so I am willing to wait on you, not with grumbling and frustration but with hope and assurance that you do everything in your perfect timing. Give me patience, and help me to look for your answers to the requests I make of you. And increase my faith that you are working, even when I must wait for your answer. Waiting on God exercises your gift of grace and tests your faith.  Therefore continue to wait in hope, for although the promise may linger, it will never come too late.                                                             --Charles Spurgeon
