We live in a “I want it now” society like little Veronica in the Willie Wonka movie. But the product wasn’t quite fine tuned then and perhaps yours isn’t quite ready yet either or is it?
Do I enjoy
watching the wicked die? No. I, the Eternal One, would prefer
for the wicked to stop doing the wrong things they do and live. Ezekiel 18:23
But that’s not the question. The question is when do we see the results we desire? Is it now? Is it ready? Is there such a thing as divine timing?
Wait for
the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
Psalm 27:14
But as we get older, we learn that there was often a divine plan in play. And we would not have changed anything that happened in the past to arrive at the awesome desire for which we prayed.
Maturity teaches us that God’s ways are indeed higher than our ways. And if we had not waited, the results could have been mediocre or even disastrous.
Wait on the LORD. But first, one must learn how to hear from the Creator. That’s the key. How? Reading the Torah (Old Testament Bible) daily fine tunes your inner ear (soul) to align with the Ways of GOD. Some call it intuition (inner Teacher).
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. Psalm 37:7-9
Some have to be taught from great teachers. Others or taught from the Great Teacher.

“For My
thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,”
says the Lord. “For as the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts
than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9
