God has a time for everything He wants to accomplish in our lives.
We are the field (or earth) in which the Son of Man went forth to sew His Seed.(Luke 8)
We only have to make sure that we are the right type of field. In other words, we have to make ourselves available. God will do the rest.

Wesley read the same Bible Martin Luther did. Pentecostals read the same Bible we read. Jesus read the same Bible that the Pharisees read, but they had... Trying to keep the corn in a early stage, when it was ripening, they fail to see their hour.Now David has done the same thing here.43 God reveals this Word in the season, and to whom He chooses to reveal It to. God chooses who He reveals It to. He chose that before the foundation of the world. All of His doings were foreknown by Him, hidden from man. He just reveals them as He will. It is His chosen season, His chosen person. And He never did choose a party or sect; it's a chosen person, how He does it.
Man’s natural (carnal) tendency is to try to get ahead of God and help Him achieve His will. • Eve tried to fulfill God’s will in her own way instead of waiting on God to do it His way and in His season. • Trying to do God a service without it being the will of God… (II Timothy 2:16)
Ministers in the Message get ahead of God by trying to find something “good” (or tantalizing, entertaining) for the people instead of waiting on God to reveal the Word in His season. II TIMOTHY 2:16 » 16 † But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. » 17 † And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; » 18 † Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. (OR saying that Jesus wasn’t God before the river Jordan, etc…) » 19 † ¶ Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

He had lost all thoughts of freedom, till God met him one day in a burning bush. And then, when God's season came along just exactly, then He--He revealed His plans to Moses.Now, the reason that Moses had forgot about freedom, God's promise that he would free them, but God hadn't forgot His promise. Moses tried in himself and failed. That's what the church has done many times. We've tried in ourselves to do things, when we fail to find God's element of time.

Then at the time, we harvest corn. The spring rains come, the drought through the summer, the fall rains, the snows. You just can't say I plant my wheat today and tomorrow and go out and harvest it.God has times for season. He has seasons for His Word. He has times when the--in the Scripture here where It said, "And the Presence of the Lord was there to heal the sick." That's when Jesus was ministering too. At the Presence of the Lord was there to heal the sick. Maybe at other times the Presence of the Lord wasn't there to heal the sick. And we find out that God works everything seasonally. And now, when Moses, what he failed to find was the--the time limit of God.

It would rot. It'd be... Nothing happen. If it happened to sprout the cold weather would kill a germ. See? It wouldn't work. We got to have the season for it.

Right back to Egypt he went just as hard as he could go, for he knew that God had promised deliverance, and the time had come for deliverance. For it was directly...Now, Moses was looking first at the Word. The Word of God had promised them deliverance. He knew the time was nigh. Now, he had to have a direct contact with God to know how and when to do it.
We must be patient and wait for God to achieve His will in His time.
Patiently endure (Hebrews 6:15) » 10 † For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. » 11 † And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: » 12 † That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. » 13 † For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, » 14 † Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. » 15 † And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Always be diligent and study the Word daily even if you don’t feel like you’re gaining ground. (Proverbs 10:4) (II Timothy 2:15) Just like natural growth in plants, spiritual growth is very slow and cannot be noticed on a day-to-day basis. PROVERBS 10:4 » 4 † ¶ He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligentmaketh rich. II TIMOTHY 2:15 » 15 † Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
