One of the ways we learn to recognize God’s voice is by looking at the fruit it produces. God is a God of order, not confusion. A God of love, not fear. A God of peace, not panic. His timing may not always be the timing we would choose but it is always perfect. He sees the beginning and the end at the same time, while we can only see what’s directly in front of us. The enemy wants us anxious, striving, and rushing ahead of God’s plan. He whispers that God is late, that we need to force doors open, and that we cannot trust what God is doing behind the scenes. But God’s plans have always been good. When He says wait, there is purpose in the waiting. When He says no, there is protection in the no. When He says go, there is provision for the journey. We don’t have to understand every step to trust the One who is leading us. His timing is perfect. His plans are good. His love never fails.
