Morning Devotional:
When I had to leave for a conference in the Twin Cities the other day, I knew I was getting a late start. My start got even later because of simple forgetfulness. I kept getting out of my car and running back into my house to either grab something I forgot or turn something off before I pulled out of my driveway. Lately l have felt like I have been running late for pretty much everything.
We may feel like we have no control of the clock, but God does. In our limited view, it’s easy to wonder why He doesn’t seem to show up when we want Him to, or why some prayers go unanswered for so long. But Scripture reminds us that God’s timing is not ours. We operate in minutes and hours, but God moves through eternity. He’s never late and His timing is always perfect.
Second Peter 3:9 tells us that God is not slow, as we often perceive slowness. Every moment of waiting, every unanswered question, and even every frustrating delay has a purpose in His plan. He sees the full picture and knows exactly when to move. When you’re caught up in the rush of life or feel frustrated by a detour or delay, God is working in every single moment and He is faithful.
