The RIGHT time

Why does it always seem that our time, or human time, is so much different from God's timing? I want what I want, and I know that right now is the time I absolutely, positively, 100%, without a doubt NEED it.... sound familiar? Most of the time, we don't get what we think we need, and even at sometimes become absolutely frustrated, even angered with God. This may seem humorous but many times the situations are the complete opposite... financial issues, illness, job, family issues and etc, all very pressing urgent needs, needs that HAVE TO be met, but aren't... at least not on our timeline. But why? I mean we serve a merciful God, that's evident (if you don't believe me see THE CROSS) and he obviously wants what is best for us, wants for us to be content, so why would he allow this to happen? ... finishing this thought, it hit me. Selfishness. WAIT, STOP THE TRAIN, THIS GUY CAN'T BE SERIOUS... but honestly, take a few breaths look and the mirror and realize it... because it's true. God's timing is THE RIGHT timing, How can it be wrong? No matter the hurt, stress, frustration, even anger, he is right and will continue to be right (stealing a line from SANDLOT) FOR-EV-ER! 
"In a time of favor I have answered you; in a day of salvation I have helped you; I will keep you and give you as a covenant to the people, to establish the land, to apportion the desolate heritages," 
Realizing this, the "RIGHTNESS" of God is no doubt frustrating, and waiting for his timing is no doubt again frustrating, but after all it is the right thing. Take comfort in knowing we serve the only thing/person/being etc. that will ever be 100% reliable and right.
