Delay is not Denial

The word of the Lord to His children is "Delay is not denial". "For though, according to your chronology of things, you would be inclined to think that the delay is due to a fault of Mine, or that My words to you were not true, or that My promises and not trustworthy;" this is what the Lord says, "you must know that My chronology is not the same as yours, and that what appears to be delay in your mind, is a timing that is in MY hands, and in accordance with My intention to do you good. For my promise is sure, My word is steadfast, and My intention to do you good is also quite well matched with My power to work all things together for your good."

"So during this time of waiting, be not dismayed, don't give in to disillusionment, and do not discard your faith; by which you stand to gain great reward. Remain trusting, remain yielded, remain pliable in My hands, and wait upon me with expectation; for surely, delay does not mean a denial of the good things I have promised and intend for my children."
