I walked into a hotel restaurant and after going through the menu, I ordered some food. After about 20 minutes a group of guys and ladies walked in and placed their order. To my dismay, these people were served first. I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily. I even overheard one of them bragging about how connected he is to everyone at the hotel and I felt mocked, so I decided to leave. I called the waiter, he calmly told me, "yours is a special order, being prepared by the chief chef himself. Their order was prepared hurriedly by students because the top chefs are busy with yours Sir. That's why they were served first. Please have some juices as you wait." I calmed down and waited patiently.
Shortly after, my meal was served by 6 waiters. Unknown to me, the owner of the hotel ( who happened to be an old long lost friend of mine) saw me when I entered and decided to surprise me. She changed my simple order to a five-star meal. The party at the other table was shocked. They couldn't stop staring. Suddenly, they were the ones murmuring, asking why they didn't get that kind of service and meal.
Such is life. Some people are ahead of you and are eating now, laughing at you and talking about how they are smarter, wiser and better than you, how they are well connected, blessed, have money and are enjoying life. You are waiting tirelessly wondering why it's taking so long to breakthrough. You have endured mockery and humiliation, but DON'T WORRY. Your order is being prepared by the Chief Chef. It's a special order and SPECIAL ORDER TAKE TIME. Wait for your order and relax. Wait Well. The word of God says, "So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen." God has not forgotten about us, every promise that He spoke shall be brought to past. So, the next time you start to feel discouraged and wondering why your prayers haven't been answered, just remember SPECIAL ORDERS TAKE TIME.
"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." Psalm139:14-16
