I just got off the phone with my dad. And we were talking about the waiting game that God seems to be very instrumental in using in my life. He told me about his old Bible study leader who at age 99, once said, "I have walked with God for my entire life, and if there is one qualm I have with Him, its that he is much too slow."
I know God operates outside of time, but I am stuck inside the clock. However, I found this ancient hymn to be very uplifting.
I am becoming a master in waiting, and I think that God may have many more classes in store for me....
Not so in haste, my heart!
Have faith in God, and wait;
Although he linger long,
He never comes too late.
He never comes too late;
He knoweth what is best;
Vex thyself in vain;
Until He cometh rest.
Until He cometh rest,
Nor grudge the hours that roll;
The feet that wait for God
Are soonest at the goal.
Are soonest at the goal
That is not gained with speed;
Then hold thee still, my heart,
For I shall wait His Lead!
