God Works in the Waiting

"Wait for the Lord, be strong, and let your heart take courage, wait for the Lord" - Psalm 27:14

Nobody likes waiting. It feels slow, pointless, and, honestly, it often feels like God is doing nothing. You pray, you plan, you show up in faith, but then you sit in silence. And that silence can start to sound like rejection. But you need to understand something. Silence is not absence. And delay is not denial.

Waiting seasons are not wasted seasons. They are often the moments where God does His deepest work in you. When your prayers aren’t answered overnight, that is where your faith matures. That is where your trust deepens. That is where you learn to listen, surrender, and let go of your timeline.

We live in a world that teaches us to chase results, to always look ahead to what’s next. But God often leads us into places where nothing seems to be moving because He is shaping something in the stillness that could not be shaped in the spotlight. The waiting becomes a classroom. It’s a place of transformation.

There is something about waiting that forces you to face what you believe. Do you only trust God when the door opens quickly? Do you only believe in His power when you see progress? Or are you willing to walk with Him in the dark, even when there’s no visible proof of what’s ahead?

You may not see the movement yet. You may not feel momentum. But make no mistake, God is moving. Sometimes the miracle is not what happens after the wait. But instead, the miracle is what happens to you in the wait. You become different. Stronger. More surrendered. More like Jesus.

I want to encourage you to keep showing up in faith. Let God work in you while you wait for what He will do through you. The waiting room might not be where you want to be, but it just might be where you need to be.
