2 Chronicles 10:15 "So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat."
It is unclear how long Jeroboam waited in Egypt, hiding out until Solomon's death. But it is likely that it was quite a length of years. God had given Jeroboam a promise and it was fulfilled, but most likely not in Jeroboam's time-frame.
We see this over and over in the Bible and in our own lives as well. We believe that God has the ability to do supernatural things, yet we attempt to limit Him to natural timing. We "limit" Him in our own minds by our lack of faith and trust. And lack of faith and trust has its root in a lack of knowing Who He truly is.
What promises am I waiting for God to fulfill in my life? Do I have God on my schedule? Or am I patiently waiting, faithfully trusting?
