God tells us to remain in a state of expectancy because his timing is perfect. Sometimes we are faced with very difficult situations where the only option we have is to wait. At a time like this, we begin to ask the wrong questions; God where are you? God how much longer? We spend time required for praying and trusting in God to ask all the wrong questions.
Sometimes we work so hard to achieve our goals yet we do not get a positive result, other times we pray constantly without receiving an answer, we wait on God and he seems far away so we loose faith in him, we become impatient with him and try to find another means to get to our goal. We forget how patient God is, we forget how much Christ endured for our sake, we are oblivious of God's mercies in our lives.
The Bible says that he alone knows the plans he has for us , he said they are plans of good and not evil (Jeremiah 29:11) But he also says that his timing is perfect. So what is that thing you have been asking God for? What is that thing you have been waiting for? What is that situation you think is bigger than God? Are you considering abadoning God to look for an easier way out? Have you given up on God? Pay attention, be still and listen to the voice of God saying "trust me and wait".
God never gives up on us, so don't give up on him.
