THINGS CAN MOVE SLOW

THINGS CAN MOVE SLOW- The work of God is not always built in a day, nor can you judge it by what is worked out in a few years.  Great works take time, and a move of God can take many years to build up and be accomplished.  The old saying is that Rome wasn't built in a day.  Well, here is what I Kings 6:2 tells us:   "And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD."   God had the tabernacle in the wilderness, and a house for Him was to be built in the promised land, in Jerusalem, but it took 480 years after they came out of Egypt!  Wow... it took a lot of time!  Don't rush God's work... let it grow with His timing.  Be patient, God is working behind the scenes to make us more of what we ought to be.
