Today I am reflecting on a truth that has been pressing deeply on my heart: waiting is not wasted. The image I held close reminded me of the journeys of those who came before us — Moses, Joseph, Noah, Abraham, David. Each man of God carried a promise, yet each endured seasons of obscurity, pain, or preparation before stepping into his calling.
Before Moses led, he wandered. Before Joseph ruled, he was forgotten. Before Noah sailed, he built. Before Abraham received, he trusted. Before David reigned, he hid.
These delays were not detours. They were holy classrooms where faith was refined, courage was tested, and trust in God’s timing was forged. My own waiting carries the same invitation: to allow God to shape me in hiddenness, to let Him build strength in the silence, and to lean into His promises when answers feel far away.
📖 "For the vision is yet for an appointed time… though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." — Habakkuk 2:3 (NKJV)
In the pause between promise and fulfilment, God is still moving. The wait itself is part of His design — a weaving together of trust, patience, and unseen preparation.
💡Reflection:
What does your current season of waiting look like? Where might God be building, shaping, or preparing you for what lies ahead?
As I carry these words into my week, I remember that every waiting season holds purpose. The God who promised is faithful, and He is doing a deeper work than I can yet see.
🙌Prayer:
Lord, thank You for reminding me that waiting is not wasted. Strengthen my heart to trust You in the hidden places. Help me to see delays not as denials but as invitations to grow deeper in faith. May I rest in Your timing and trust that Your purposes will be fulfilled. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
