There is an old saying:
God is seldom early but He is never late.
In an old devotional called The Disciplines of Life there is a poem I love at the end of the essay The Discipline of Delay:
In every life
There’s a pause that is better than onward rush,
Better than hewing or mightiest doing;
‘Tis the standing still at Sovereign will.
There’s a hush that is better than ardent speech,
Better than sighing or wilderness crying;
‘Tis the being still at Sovereign will.
The pause and the hush sing a double song
In unison low and for all time long.
O human soul, God’s working plan
Goes on, nor needs the aid of man!
Stand still, and see!
Be still, and know!
There is nothing like a power-shot of worship to put the joy back in your journey when you have been waiting a long… long… time.
