Providence: The Purpose of the Wait

Have you ever wondered why God makes the journey of answering prayer so long? If God knows what we need, and He knows He is going to provide it, why the delay? Why the confusion? Why the long silence? It often feels inefficient. If He is sovereign, He could just zap the answer into our laps instantly. But He rarely does. He takes us the long way round. Today, we are going to see that the delay isn't God dragging His feet; it is God doing His deepest work in us. He isn't just delivering an answer; He is crafting a worshipper.
