Why is waiting on God's timing important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Waiting on God's timing cultivates patience and trust in His sovereign plan.
Waiting on God is a central theme in the life of a believer. As stated in James 1:4, 'Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.' By waiting, Christians not only learn to trust God's timing but also grow in spiritual maturity. In this waiting period, believers are often drawn closer to God, learning to depend on His strength and grace. Additionally, during seasons of waiting, as highlighted in 'My times are in Thy hand' (Psalm 31:15), God often prepares His people, refining their character and deepening their faith. Ultimately, understanding that all of our times are under God's control should bring profound peace and confidence.
