The NIV 365 Day Devotional
Duration: 365 days
Impatience
If only God would always give us such clear explanations for his timing! What Israelite would have considered wild animal control as an important factor in the military plan for conquering the promised land? But God looked ahead and saw all the complications and roadblocks, and he adjusted his plan accordingly. We believe we’re great managers of our lives, but God knows better. He doesn’t always tell us the reasons for his timing. But he asks us to trust him. If you charge ahead of God in your plans, you may achieve initial success, but you may soon realize several significant problems you overlooked. So relax. Wait on his master plan.
