Waiting On God

Waiting on God is not a pause of weakness but a posture of trust. While the world rushes, God asks us to rest in Him. “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles...” (Isaiah 40:31, NKJV). Waiting is not inactivity; it is spiritual alignment. In the waiting, God works on your heart, your character, and your faith.
There’s purpose in every delay. Like a seed hidden in soil, growth happens unseen. We may long for answers, breakthroughs, or clear direction—but God’s timing refines us to make us ready for the moment that the answers come. The waiting room becomes the training ground for wisdom, patience, and deeper intimacy with Christ.
If you're waiting today, don’t despair. Lean into His promises. Let worship rise while you wait. His delay is not His denial—it’s preparation for His best.
Quote
