Psalm 132:11-18
English Standard Version (ESV)
When the Lord told David that one of his sons would sit on the throne, how long do you suppose David thought it would be before this came to pass? Do you think he imagined it would be a few decades, or a few centuries?
We often have very different ideas as to exactly when God should bring things to pass. We think it should be a few days or weeks, when God is actually working over the course of all of human history. Our lives, too, are long journeys from the cradle to eternity, and God is doing a work in us as we live here. So be patient, and trust that God has an eternal mindset when it comes to our lives. He has redeemed us and will restore us, and so may our prayers express supreme confidence in God's ability to do so.
May we pray with patience
