In His own due time

I've often wondered what "His due time" meant, for me.

And it's often been associated with, "I need this, BUT I will taken whatever I get according to thy will", or "I want this to happen now, BUT I will do it according to thy will" (with a not-so-willing-to-wait-attitude). Sometimes that has rocked my faith a little, because, if it does not happen, and I am praying for it to happen, I often lose faith that it WILL someday happen.

And of course, I am speaking primarily about finding someone to marry.

Well today as I read in Enos, it just struck me how diligent Enos was. He hungers and searches for peace--all the day and night (1:4), he prays more earnestly and his faith is UNSHAKEN in the Lord (1:11). And because of his great faith, God promises that He WILL grant his wishes and desires, but that it would be in "His own due time".

So even back then, people had to wait.

Just like me.
