“Every delay is God’s way.”

Our family uses two little mottos to keep our spirits cheerful in the midst of disappointment. First, “Every rejection is God’s protection.” Second: “Every delay is God’s way.”

Both statements reflect deeply theological positions on God’s love and sovereignty. So when we arrive to the airport and our airline announces a two hour delay, we don’t despair or complain. God is in charge. Every delay is God’s way.
