In the fast-paced culture of the United States, waiting can feel challenging. It can feel like the only way to get the life we want is to go out and take it. Jeremiah warns against the temptation to rush through life. False prophets, eager for quick outcomes, try to barrel ahead of God’s schedule. Their actions reveal a deeper issue—a lack of trust in God’s process. They want to force results, not understanding that God’s plans unfold with great precision. Faith involves trusting in the deliberate work of God and believing that the divine is on the move in our lives before we see results.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. [Proverbs 3:5]
