10 mins a day, closer to God.
God’s timing often challenges our perception, reminding us that His ways are higher than ours. A day to the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. This truth calls us to patience and trust, to release our need for immediate answers and embrace the eternal perspective of God’s plan. Worship becomes a place of surrender, where we acknowledge that God operates beyond human constraints of time and that His timing is perfect. This perspective helps us cultivate patience, especially in seasons of waiting. By trusting in God’s eternal wisdom, we find peace in the present, knowing that His plans unfold in the right time. This trust builds resilience, allowing us to face delays with confidence, knowing that God’s purpose will prevail. Through this faith, we demonstrate a reliance on God’s character, showing others that our hope is not in immediate results but in a faithful God who fulfills His promises in His perfect timing. This patience reflects our belief in an eternal God who holds time and eternity in His hands.
Luke 11:11
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
James 5:7
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain.
Psalm 37:7
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
James 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
