God is Still Working
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" – Romans 8:28
One of the hardest parts of walking with God is trusting Him when you cannot see what He is doing. We like progress we can measure, results we can track, and clear signs that things are moving forward. But God does some of His greatest work behind the scenes, in places we cannot see and in ways we cannot fully understand.
Just because you cannot see change happening does not mean nothing is happening. God often works in the hidden places, aligning people, circumstances, and opportunities to bring His plan together in the perfect time. Think about the roots of a tree. You do not see them growing beneath the surface, but they are spreading and strengthening every day, preparing the tree to stand strong when the storms come.
There are prayers you have prayed that are already in motion, even though you have not seen the answer yet. There are doors God is opening for your future that you do not even know exist right now. There are relationships being formed, opportunities being prepared, and obstacles being removed without your knowledge. He does not always let us see every detail, but He calls us to trust His heart even when we cannot trace His hand.
Our job is to remain faithful where we are and to keep seeking Him daily. Just like a seed buried in the ground, growth is often unseen until the right moment. And when that moment comes, what God has been doing behind the scenes will be undeniable.
So if it feels like nothing is happening, do not lose hope. The silence does not mean absence, and the waiting does not mean nothing is moving. God is working right now, even in ways you cannot see. Trust Him with the unseen, because He sees the whole picture, and He is always moving for your good.

I believe!!❤️??
Amen
Sometimes God uses those moments of silence to also give me some badly needed humility. I’ll get worried and sometimes angry or close to bitter even. Start thinking about what I need to do differently or where I messed up. Then usually after a good heart to heart surrender in prayer something happens followed by another series of what I like to call God showing off events. Demonstrating to me exactly what you wrote here Pastor Ed. He never stop working for my good at all. He always knew what He was doing. Thank you!
Amen!!! God is our only hope!!! Thank you!!
I was just praying about this exact thing, patience and knowing what’s coming is greater than anything I could imagine, I just have to trust his timing. Thank you pastor
