Your Impatience Won’t Move God’s Hand

God has a plan for each and every one of us. He Himself has written and forged it. It's not that He'll do it tomorrow or the day after, He already did it since before the creation of the world. Before we ever were, God had already seen this day including your problems and what you are going through, and He doesn't ignore the things you need. He loves you and He will give them to you.

This is why I’d like to share with you three things that happen in the midst of a trial. Firstly, He wants to teach us marvellous things; in the midst of the fiery furnace, God wants to glorify Himself. Secondly, He wants to perform surprising miracles among us, that we would be witnesses to others. And finally, He wants to show us how much pride is really in our hearts, because we want Him to answer us, but not on His timing. We want things now. It's like the saying: "Lord, give me patience, but now." With this I want you to understand that your impatience will never move God's hand.

Jesus wants to take this opportunity to bless you, and you really don't have any idea of the plan He has for you at this time. Perhaps you are currently in a fiery trial like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who were thrown into a furnace heated seven times hotter to the point that the guards who threw them in were burned.

You can read in your Bible how these three men weren't in desperation. They didn't say to the king, "Please, this will burn us or we will be in a lot of pain, please spare us this pain." No! Instead they said to him, "Know, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor will we worship the image you have set up."

Do you know what happened next? That king who had thrown those three men now saw a fourth man, who was the Son of God standing in the fiery furnace. You can read about it later in the third chapter of the Book of Daniel. From that moment on, what had happened took place to glorify God. By King Nebuchadnezzar's edict, every nation and language was now to worship the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. God wanted to glorify Himself!
