In fact, most of the time, it does.<\/p>\n<p>You might have already noticed, God\u2019s timing is very different than ours. He doesn\u2019t work by our standards. Did you know it took 15 years for Sarah to have a baby after God\u2019s promise to Abraham? When God told Abraham the first time he would have a son he was 86 years old. But when Sarah actually had Isaac Abraham was 100! God\u2019s timing is definitely different than ours.<\/p>\n<p>When I think of people who have inspired me in my faith, it\u2019s not necessarily those ones who are busy doing lots of things for God. It\u2019s those people who take the time to really hear His voice, and get His anointing and presence on their lives. This is what truly changes us, and those around us.<\/p>\n<p>To know God\u2019s timing we must wait on Him. Sometimes when we don\u2019t know what to do the best thing is just be still and listen. The answer may not come right away, but God\u2019s presence, grace and peace can get us through just about anything.<\/p>\n<p>Have you waited on God today?<\/p>\n<p>                    Subscribe Now<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waiting on God \u201cBe still and know that I am God!
