I was praying the other day and speaking to the Lord about timing and what is taking so long with what He has promised me, personally. I am not one to talk about myself often with others, let alone with God. Not because I don’t have needs, desires or wants, but because I have nothing new to say, due to waiting on what we have talked about so many times before. In this discussion with the Lord about timing, He told me something that made a lot of sense and gave me a much needed timing adjustment. I know it was for me, but I think it is for many of us.

The Lord said, “There is no delay in what I have promised you, personally, it’s just that what I am doing is not only about you, it is bigger than you, so takes more time than just what I promised you.” As I pondered these words from the Lord, I understood I am apart of something so big, it is taking time for all of it to come together for the manifestation. If it was just about me, it would have been answered already, but what He has promised us individually is directly tied to what He is doing in us as a generation and that takes time. He sees us individually, but He is also looking at us as generationally with what is happening in this day and age.

I know it feels like the ache will never be met, but it is not about a what as much as it is about a who. Who this is about is God and His kingdom; what this is about is going to change the landscape of nations. It is as though God is on a macro assignment alignment right now and our micro is part of it, but is not the present priority individually, so we have to adjust our thinking to generationally. In the long run this is going to benefit so many at one time, just like a multitude came out of Egypt together, or a generation crossed the Jordan together, so we are living in a corporate time of God’s design, not an individual one. I hope this helps with what seems to be taking so long.
