God's Time Best
Hebrews 10:36
For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.


Were you prematurely rending the calyx which contains the coming rose or lily, perhaps it would refuse to blow at all, or at best you would only get a crumpled, stunted flower. God's way is better. With gushing summer He fills the bud within; with sap and strength He makes it glad at heart, till the withering cerement bursts and the ripened fragrance floats through all the air of June. The soul must be ripe within, and then it easily puts off this tabernacle.

(Jas. Hamilton, D. D.)
