There is a time for everything under the sun. In Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, it is said that there is a time to be born and a time to die, a time for silence and a time to talk. At the right time, God perfects everything.
When God chose David as King of Israel, David did not become king immediately, he waited for years to assume that position. He was anointed as a teen, but he waited till he was thirty years old before he became king of Israel. He was afraid that Saul would kill him, so he ran and hid himself. He passed through a lot of challenges before he finally took what God had kept for him.
When God made a promise to Abraham to make him a father of many nations, Abraham had to wait for twenty-five years to get Isaac for the promise to be fulfilled. He even had a son named Ishmael from Hagar his wife's maid, but that was not the promised son. God eventually brought Isaac through Sarah at the right time, which eventually fulfilled the promise and today, there is Israel.
Every pregnancy lasts for months before the baby is born, mostly nine months. If a woman tries to push out a baby before the right time, this may lead to a miscarriage and the whole pregnancy will be futile.
If we rush a promise God made to us, we'll ruin it and that means we're trying to play God. we should have patience to wait for God's promise to happen at the time He chooses.
