He knows what you need and when you need it! He has the best set aside for you (Jeremiah 29:11). Impatience is often why we hurry. It’s simply a lack of trust. When you’re impatient you’re saying,  God, I don’t really trust you. I don’t think you have my best interest at heart. You don’t know when I need it, and I’m in a hurry. Is fast always better? No. It is not. Not always.

God has a plan for your life. But he also has a timetable for your life and a timetable for your life for that matter. Unfortunately, God never explains his timetable. And that can be frustrating! It’s painful when you’re in a hurry and God’s not. But it’s part of maturing, part of growing up. Children have to learn the difference between  no and  not yet. God knows the right time and the right way. He has a plan and a timetable.

Life is not a sprint; it’s a marathon. God doesn’t want you to burn out. Whether you’re 20 or 50, he doesn’t want to wear you out before he can complete his purposes through you.
