Sometimes, it feels like God is slower than we expect. But God’s seeming slowness doesn’t mean He’s inactive or incapable. Instead, it may be that we are the ones moving too quickly. As a great teacher, God sometimes needs to slow down to teach us valuable lessons, preparing us to receive His gifts and fulfill our missions.
Consider the analogy of a dance or music teacher. Even though they are experts, they often need to slow down their instruction to effectively impart their skills and knowledge to their students. This process can seem slow and tedious, but it’s essential for growth.
Similarly, in the story of Jesus’s first miracle at Cana, He chose to turn water into wine not instantly, but through a process. Instead of transforming the water in the wells, He asked the servants to fill jars with water from the wells, one bucket at a time. This laborious task took time, but it was part of the process leading to the miracle.
In our fast-paced world, we often seek instant success and quick results. However, God’s love for us means He desires more than just temporary achievements; He wants us to fulfill a greater purpose, which requires time and patience.
To embrace this process, we need to be patient with ourselves and slow down when necessary. Sometimes, resting and trusting in God is more important than being constantly busy.
