The Glory of God Many Christians, when they're discussing with other Christians going through difficult times or circumstances, will tell them, to encourage them, that God will show up timely. It may be just the nick of time that God will show up in their circumstances. We're going to take a look at scriptures today, where God doesn't show up timely. As a matter of fact, He waits a few extra days. It's not because He didn't care about the situation of the people. As a matter of fact, the scriptures will tell us He loved them. But He did so because there was a greater reason for Him to delay. So let us take a look at sometimes when it seems like God is not showing up right when we expect Him to, that there might be a greater reason. But also, this will show us that even if God shows up late, He doesn't show up too late.
