God's timing

God's timing in life is hard but something we have to trust in.  God will work it out for his good in his timing.  God has a plan and will use our situations for his glory.
God has shown me he will use waiting for his timing for his leading.  At the beginning of Jesus' ministry, Jesus had to wait in the desert for 40 days.  Paul also had to wait before he could start full time ministry to the Gentiles.  God is using this waiting period in my time to perfect my trust in God.  He is showing me he wants me to wait on him for everything.
Also,  God is showing me that his using this waiting for his timing for his good.  Romans 8:28-29 says that God works all things in our life to conform his to his image.  This means that God uses any and all situations to bring us closer to him.  God can use any big or small situation to bring us closer to him.  God can work in our life even while waiting for him to lead us.
Lastly, God has been using this waiting in my life to show me his will is bigger than my will for my life.  Jeremiah 29:11 says that, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.    God has revealed to me that I have to trust in his plans for my life.  It may not turn out the way I want right away but he has me right where he wants me.  God's timing in my life is not about me but about trusting him daily.
