God’s time
This sentiment closely reflects
Isaiah 49:8, where the Lord says, "In the time of favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you," promising to restore and protect His people at the appointed time.
Key Aspects of this Promise in Isaiah:
- Isaiah 49:8-9: God promises to answer, help, and protect, bringing people out of darkness and restoring the land.
- Isaiah 60:22: This verse is often associated with this sentiment, stating, "I am the LORD; in its time I will accomplish it quickly" (or "When the time is right, I... will make it happen").
- Context: These verses are meant to offer comfort, suggesting that God's timing is perfect, even if it feels slow, and that He will fulfill His promises.
These passages emphasize trusting in God's, not man's, timing.
