"Timing is the essential ingredient in success
We live in a society that has developed a microwave mentality. We want things and we want them now! This "I want what I want when I want it" syndrome has affected a lot of folks relationship with God. Why cook it when you can nuke it? Why go into a restaurant and sit down when you can pick up fast food at a drive thru window and eat while you hurry to get someplace else? We have cell phones, we have pagers, we have email, we have cell phones that receive and send pages and email, and now they are running commercials for cell phones that send and receive pages, phone calls, email and full color television pictures of our faces as we talk so that we don't even have to take the time of being in another person’s physical presence for them to see what we look like.
God’s Word is full of great and precious promises of what God wants for us and what He is willing to do for us. God expects us to recognize Him as our source of all things good, but He also expects us to recognize that He is, besides being a provider, the determiner of the time frame in which provision will be made.
God’s timing is never wrong but sometimes we feel that we need to "help God out." Rather than trusting God and waiting for the appointed time, we forge ahead with our own timing and our own resources hoping that God will put a seal of approval on what we do. If you want to be a person that has a huge impact and transform your community, you must mature and grow strong in the Spirit, — wait for the time of manifestation in the desert — and learn totally depend on God to deliver you and to see you through every trials and tribulations in your life. You must wait for the appointed time.

While you learn to wait on the Lord,
and let Him work in you, He will work marvelous changes in you. You will have a
strange new consciousness of serenity and peace, a feeling that something has
been done, that some new power to overcome has come to you. And you will be
able to see as He sees. When you are able to see as He sees, all the hard
things become easy; the troublesome things no longer have power to worry and
the difficult people and things of the world lose all power to annoy you. Every inspiration or command from
God comes complete with the timing, the mood, the energy and everything you
need to carry it out.
Every season of struggle is an opportunity to see God bring about new spiritual life. When that new life springs forth, you will realize it was worth the wait and the pain. God will not allow you to suffer without allowing something new to be born in you. You don't need to rush. If something bound to happen, it will happen in the right time, with the right person and for the best reason. God is never late. God can do all things and His plan will never fail.
