Trusting God’s Timing

Message

The new year is a time to surrender our plans and trust God to establish our steps.

One of the hardest parts of committing our plans to the Lord is trusting His timing. We often want immediate results, but God works in His perfect time. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that there is a season for everything under heaven. Delays and waiting periods are not signs of God’s absence but opportunities for Him to grow our faith and prepare us for His best.

When we commit our plans to God, we are also committing to trust His timeline. He knows what we need and when we need it. Trusting His timing means being patient when answers seem delayed and having faith that He is working behind the scenes for our good.

Scripture Reading

Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”
