God is Never in a Hurry

God is never in a hurry because He knows how fast He can do things once He begins. His concern is for His people to be ready for Him to work. Are you praying about an issue concerning God's will for you? A comment Dr. David Yonggi Cho of Seoul, Korea often makes is, "I listen and obey." This is one of his secrets of success and it's a good word of counsel to follow.

After your prayer time, take additional time to sit still in quiet praise and meditation and listen for the Holy Spirit to speak to you about readiness. You may not hear Him speak the first time you ask but as you develop the time of waiting before Him, you will begin to recognize that still small voice in your heart. Hearing direction from the Holy Spirit is a wonderful reassurance that God is leading you in your important decisions of life.
