Fantastic Friday #220 Delay

Delay

¹⁶ But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation always say,
"The LORD be exalted!"

¹⁷ Yet I am poor and needy;
may the Lord think of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O my God, do not delay. Psalm 40:16-17

So, the day has begun with a little delay, but Friday is not over to make it Fantastic. Sometimes our life is full of delays. The delays on the way to see your family, the delays we might experience in a store, and the delays we might experience when attending an event with 40,000 of your closest friends. What you usually find I imagine at the end of those delays is mostly gratifyingand even more wonderful than you anticipated. I think the same kind of anticipation you can experience in the search for God in your life. Do you sit on the edge of your seat waiting for God to reveal Himself to you, or do you get frustrated with the delays you experience in waiting for God's answer. Just remember that God is our deliverer and He will delay our answers until He feels we are ready to handle all that He will provide. Just remember, our reward is not here but is delayed until God's time.
