Beautifully written. For some reason I am reminded of the Old Testment civil system/laws where certain crimes were immediately punishable by death. Now here in America, sentence against an evil crime are delayed for years.

Eccl 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. I wonder how fearful people can be if they knew that their deeds can be punished by the chair!

Aside from that somewhat morbid thought. Your thoughts on God's time table in relationship to our carnal nature is so true! God lives in the past, present and future and time does not limit him. He created time! He can exist outside of time.

One day, we can have all the answers to why God delays our prayers...or sometimes plainly says no.
