Our Heavenly Judge will not delay long over His elect, but He will
delay.
In fact, God's definition of "speedily" and ours are not always
synonymous. The Lord incorporates delays into His overall plan. Delays work
perseverance in us. So crucial is endurance to our character
development, that GOD is willing to delay, even important answers to prayer, to
facilitate our transformation.
Thus, we should not interpret
divine delays as signs of divine reluctance.
Delays are tools to perfect our
faith.
Christ is looking to find a tenacity in our faith that prevails, in spite
of delays and setbacks. He seeks to create a perseverance within us that
outlasts the test of time. A resolve that actually grows stronger
during delays.
When the Father sees this quality of persistence in our faith, it
so touches His heart that He blesses us with the desires of our heart.
