If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. 
I you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. 
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. —Sun Tzu, the Art of War

Sometimes arriving too quickly is detrimental. It is dangerous to arrive without our character mature or intact.”—Lisa Bevere

Does Gods Will Mean waiting?
Here is a collection of Google AI gathered responses.
What do I mean by AI, Artificial Intelligence, and where does it gather it's supposed intelligence? the internet! Who has filled the internet with story's, blogs, podcasts, and opinions?

• God's timing is perfect:God has a bird's-eye view and his timing is perfect, even if delays can feel agonizing. (Disagree, Time is in creation in-which we are to be sub-doers. Gods timing or Calendar is above the "feeling" of agonizing. Two separate points here. Gods timing is perfect? As heaven and earth move in concert with His faith.)
• God is with you:God is the Lord of waiting and is with you in your wait. ( Disagree)

the worst answer I found: To qualify for the promise:God is eager and willing to give His children every good thing, but it is up to us to qualify for the promise. heaven help us! We are saved by grace. ​

• God's delays are not denials:God does something in you before he does something for you. ( I agree in part, God never uses sickness or disease as a tool to maturity)
• God's will is strategic:Nothing God calls us to do is without a purpose. ( I agree)
• God's will is for you to wait well:Until you know God's specific will for your circumstances, his will is for you to wait well. (Disagree, patience is a virtue, He is maturing the sons of God, But Gods answers are not withheld as a means to know Him, that is control and witchcraft.)
• God loves you:God loves you and gives good guidance, provision, help, and strength during the wait. (Agree)
• God's will is to lift you above storms:God will take you through the storm, and he will actually lift you above the storm. (Agree)
• God's will is to develop your character:God is developing your character and making you into the image of Christ. (Agree)
• God's will is to break through:When people patiently and expectantly wait on God, suddenly God breaks through. (Agree in part, and who is doing the breaking through?)​​

The Magic of Musée d'Orsay's Clock: An Unforgettable Parisian Journey
Picture this. You're in the heart of Paris, the city of love, and you find yourself strolling into the Musée d'Orsay. You're there to see the famous Impressionist artwork, but then something unexpected catches your eye.
​It's a clock. But not just any clock. This clock is a grand, ornate masterpiece perched on the fifth floor, its face a window to the city. You're immediately drawn to it, just as I was on my first visit. The clock's intricate ironwork and elegant Roman numerals reflecting a craftsmanship that whispers tales of a time when locomotives were the kings of travel.

...How to Get There

This clock isn't just a timepiece, though. It's a window. A window that frames the city in a way no other can. Standing in front of it, you can see the Eiffel Tower, standing tall and proud against the sky. It's a view that blends art, history, and the city's charm into a single, breathtaking moment. Just like me, tourists and photographers can't resist this spot. They capture this blend of past, present, and timeless beauty, each snapshot a memory etched in time. Whether you're an art lover, a history enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates a beautiful view, this clock offers an experience that feels like stepping outside of time.
So, if you ever find yourself in Paris, I encourage you to seek out this clock. Take a moment to stand in front of it, to see the city through its face. It's more than just a clock, it's a window into the soul of Paris, offering a timeless perspective on the city's enduring charm.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." —Helen Keller

So, dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape your notice: a single day counts like a thousand years to the Lord Yahweh,  and a thousand years counts as one day.  This means that, contrary to man’s perspective, the Lord is not late with his promise to return, as some measure lateness. But rather, his “delay” simply reveals his loving patience toward you, because he does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3: 8 & 9 Passion.

For just one day of intimacy with you  is like
a thousand days of joy rolled into one!
I’d rather stand at the threshold in front of the Gate Beautiful, ready to go in and worship my God,
than to live my life without you in the most beautiful palace of the wicked.
For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise!

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. I you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. I you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. —Sun Tzu, the Art of War

Wrapping himself around me like a shield,
he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory.
Those who walk along his paths with integrity
will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all! (For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor;
No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. AMP)
O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
what euphoria fills those who forever trust in you! Psalms 84: 10-12 Passion

Father bring the tuning harp of Jesus Christ and return us to the sound, frequency and song of our harmony and Oneness in Him. 

All to Jesus, I surrender
All to Thee I freely give
I will ever love and trust You
In Your presence daily live
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
I surrender all
All to Jesus, I surrender
Lord, I give myself to Thee
Fill me with Your love and power
Let Your blessing fall on me
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
I surrender all

​All to Jesus I Surrender
Song by Robin Mark

All to Jesus I surrender
Now I feel the sacred flame
O the joy of full salvation
Glory, glory, to Your name
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
I surrender all (I surrender all)
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
I surrender all (all to Thee, my blessed)
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
I surrender all

In this “Lady in Waiting” season, everything I read/heard and perceived in my mindset in scripture was bent toward a tomorrow, promises were for tomorrow. God is faithful, but it was always tomorrow. God always hears our prayers, but any delay was “God’s will” or “God’s timing.” Again, I was a Lady in Waiting. Everything that seemed promised was in the spirit, for another day, in heaven. I was laying up treasure in heaven, right? Even marriage vows polluted a given life-promise “until death do you part.” Take a very emotionally needy mom of 4 young children, feeling bound by man’s doctrine of the Gospel that is supposed to set her free and put death in front of her as an escape? If we are transparently honest here, it knocked on my door more than once. The enemy pulls no punches. He knows what kind of sword will be carried into battle one day; he spared no expense to try any hindrance to take me out. Or destroy my testimony of family which would leave me on clean up, brokenness and survival mode for years. Grace indeed stewarded my heart and mercy was tremendously assisting my immaturity. I’m painting myself as an emotional basket case. Interesting to read over your words that you wrote several days before. How you interpret the condition of your own heart.
