Understanding God's Timing

**Scripture Reading**: 1 Kings 19:4 (KJV)
"But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers."

**Devotional**: Elijah's story reminds us that even after great victories, we can face despair. Trusting in God's timing is crucial. He has a plan for renewal and strength that often comes when we least expect it.

**Reflection**: How does patience in God's timing challenge you? What can you learn from Elijah's experience under the juniper tree?

**Prayer**: Father, teach me to trust in Your perfect timing. Help me to find peace and patience as You work in my life, even when I cannot see the full picture. Amen.

**Action**: Spend 10 minutes in quiet meditation today, focusing on trusting God with your current situations.
