Samuel Rutherford Quotes

When we surrender to His timing, He does mighty things in and for us, according to His will and His timing. God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.

While you're waiting, God's working.

I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it's not always in the way you expect. God knows what's best for us, though, so there's no need to worry when things don't go how we originally wanted them to go.

The Lord may not come when you want Him, but he's always going to be there on time.

God's delays are not God's denials.

It's funny how God will change your plans for you when he's ready.

I never make plans, because whenever I do I find out God has other plans.

And I have to be willing to be patient to allow God's plan to unfold and not go ahead and try to make my own circumstances happen for me. So, I've learned that He can be trusted for every need and desire but at the same time that may require patience on my end.

He (God) never comes to those who do not wait.

I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless he sees that it is good for him to wait.

Cast not away your confidence because God defers his performances. That which does not come in your time, will be hastened in his time, which is always the more convenient season. God will work when he pleases, how he pleases, and by what means he pleases. He is not bound to keep our time, but he will perform his work, honor our faith, and reward them that diligently seek him.

Don't assume that God will always work in your life the way He always has. A sunset is proof that God colors outside the lines. He has no status quo. Even the laws of nature are His to interrupt. As many times as you've prayed before, today may be the day when God sends the answer so swiftly-so divinely-that you're windburned.

It is God's will to bless us, but not necessarily on our terms. Sometimes what we think would be a wonderful blessing would not bless us at all.

God's "nothings" are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.

I'm just a product of grace that's still in the process; And I don't got to be great because my God is.

When God gives you a vision and darkness follows, wait. God will bring the vision He has given you to reality in your life if you will wait on His timing. Never try to help God fulfill His word

When we let God be God and work through us, we experience both a sense of serenity and excitement.

God's promises are not always fulfilled as quickly as or in the way we might hope; they come according to His timing and in His ways.

I'm here today because God has brought me here. Jesus has brought me here...I'm with an amazing team. I believe He perfectly placed me in the right spot at the right time.

Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry; don't grow impatient; don't try to force doors open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.

If Jesus heals instantly, praise Him. If Jesus heals gradually, trust Him. When Jesus heals ultimately, you will understand.

Sometimes we need to get over ourselves and actually realize that sometimes, God has a better plan. God's ways are higher than ours.

God is always faithful to His promises, but He often surprises us in the way He fulfills them.

Our problem is that we assume prayer is something to master the way we master algebra or auto mechanics. But when praying, we come "underneath," where we calmly and deliberately surrender control and become incompetent.

When we read of the great Biblical leaders, we see that it was not uncommon for God to ask them to wait, not just a day or two, but for years, until God was ready for them to act.
