God wants to talk to us today of all the angels there are to our faith -so we can have understanding to our wait or even unanswered prayers. It is not that God is asking is to wait for His timing but to wait/seek Him for His direction/correction.
The Word tells us that faith is now (Hebrews 11:1), thus if we would cooperate with the now, we wouldn't be waiting so long.
God's perspective is what we need —but we tend to lean on ours which isn’t useful in trusting Him. He sees the problem as to why that thing is not accomplished yet and so we have to be trusting Him to get us to that faith level where we can receive. That is what takes so long —us not cooperating with Him and His plan.
The bottom line is that most think they are in faith and God has missed it. But, God didn't miss it (He is perfect) — but the fact is, is that He can't move without our faith.
It is impossible to please Him without faith (Hebrews 11:6) because He can't do for you without your faith being in Him.
God sees where our lack of faith lies, and if we let Him He will show us where we need that adjustment.
It may be that you are trusting in something other than Him. You may not see it but if we are listening and waiting for guidance, He will show you that thing in which you are relying on instead of relying on Him. It may be that you have a back up plan in case He doesn't do that thing in which you want Him to do. Maybe you are discouraged and that is not faith either. Whatever it is —He sees it and you most likely won't without Him showing it to you. Whatever it is —it will make you question Him, and that alone proves that your faith is lacking. No rest equals —no faith. Worry is not faith and if we are worrying we are not resting and assured that He will do what He said He will do (Hebrews 4:11).
God was showing me we have to get to the place Paul learned of. He said he learned contentment.
Philippians 4:11 Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am. 12 I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want. 13 I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]. AMPC
It seems like Paul was talking of his needs but God is using this place where Paul was to say to us today, just be content in knowing that you can trust Me, and I will work out all those angels of faith for you as you seek Me.
If your faith isn't working let Him do a check for you. Then when you find out where you are lacking faith, let Him help you to get to the place where you are fully relying on —and trusting in Him. In that, to learn to fully rely on Him, is a place of getting to know Him, and that is a good and profitable thing —to know Him. To know Him is to trust Him.
