0924 信任我的时间
成全的日子属于我，不属于你。我必在我完美的时机里，在你里面完成我的工作。正如我的道路完美，我的时机也完美。因为你曾说：“我似乎停滞不前，毫无进展。”但我对你宣告：就在你等候我的时候，我正在你身上展开我的荣耀。我必成就这事，也必向你显明我的完美。
常常感觉像是无止境等待的季节，往往正是预备的时期。你必须相信那些你看不见的事。你必须相信，即使一切看似沉寂，我仍在为你动工。如果你凭眼见来判断我的信实，那你根本就没有把信心放在我身上。信心是在显而易见的情况面前仍然相信，它持续连接于我，专注于我所赐下的应许。不要放开那些应许，我所爱的。不要因为事情比预期得更久，就怀疑我的爱或信实。你要激励自己再次相信；站稳你的脚跟，深吸一口气，信任我的时间。
这是我经历这一切之后所学到的：不要放弃，不要急躁，要与主紧密相连、合而为一。要勇敢刚强，永远不要失去盼望。是的，要继续等候——因为祂永远不会让你失望。——诗篇 27:14
0924 Trust my timing
The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, “It seems I am standing still and going nowhere.” But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection.
What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf. If you judge my faithfulness by what you see, you aren’t placing your faith in me at all. Faith believes despite the obvious. It remains tapped into me, honed in on the promises that I made. Don’t let go of those promises, beloved. Don’t doubt my love or faithfulness because it’s taking longer than expected. Stir yourself up to believe again. Dig your heels in, take a deep breath, and trust my timing.
Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting–for he will never disappoint you! –PSALM 27:14
