We live in a world that constantly tells us to hustle, chase, and force things into motion. Our timelines are often packed with goals, milestones, and deadlines that make us feel like if something hasn’t happened yet, it’s a problem. But what if waiting isn’t a delay, it’s divine?
His Timing Isn’t Late... It’s Perfect
We tend to think God is slow when He doesn’t answer right away. But Scripture reminds us that “The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise” (2 Peter 3:9). He’s patient, intentional, and all-knowing. God sees the full picture, while we see just a pixel. What feels like silence may actually be preparation.
When You Feel Forgotten, You’re Being Fortified
You may feel like everyone else is moving forward while you're stuck in pause. But God uses waiting seasons to strengthen your faith, build your character, and prepare you for the blessings ahead. His delays are not His denials; they're often His way of protecting or preparing you.
Isaiah 60:22 says, “When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”
Not if, not maybe, but when.
What You Can Do While You Wait
🙏 Pray persistently. God listens even when you don’t see results.
🎶 Praise anyway. Worship in the waiting is powerful and transformative.
👣 Be obedient. Faith doesn’t sit still; it walks forward with trust, even in the dark.
Trust the Author, Not the Clock
You were never meant to carry the weight of perfect timing. That’s God’s job. Your job is to trust that He’s always on time, even when it feels late.
So next time you feel discouraged because something hasn’t happened yet, whisper this truth to your heart: If it’s not here yet, I don’t need it yet.
Because God's timing isn’t just good... it’s immaculate.
