Since Abraham, it has been close to 4,000 years. Since the Major Prophets, it has been 2,500 years. Since the Crucifixion, 2,000 years. Since the rebirth of Israel, it has been 73 years. The point: the Father is not in a rush. His time table is not ours.
Mankind is ever increasingly looking to quick fixes, immediate results. The Lord’s “delay” teaches mankind something: He is more concerned about the process of things than we may be.
It is time for us to glory and wonder in the beauty of the Lord’s process. Process is all around us; it reveals the majesty of the Creator. Stop worrying about the given outcome in your circumstance. Go outside, watch a tree grow, and see how the Lord reveal his plan through processes and not just the end result.
“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:8-9
