Maybe it’s a job.
Maybe it’s a spouse.
Maybe it’s the renewal of a friendship.
Maybe it’s healing from a health issue.
And the truth is that we are all, at one point of another, waiting on something.
And some of us have been praying for years for breakthrough. Some of us have been faithfully trusting God for a miracle, and yet we cannot physically see His hand at work.
But it doesn’t mean He isn’t working.
He knows. He sees. He hears.
And He’s working on our behalf in ways we cannot even fathom!
He’s causing all things to work for our good… and His glory.
So maybe that job isn’t the right one for us. Maybe He knows something about the corruptible environment that would only serve to set us on a backwards track if we were offered a position!
Maybe that person, the one you thought was godly, is not so after all. Maybe God is protecting you from a lifetime of heartache had you prematurely said yes to that marriage proposal.
Maybe He has not brought about unification in that friendship yet, because there’s still heart-work He needs to do in you, and restoration requires a reconstruction.
Maybe that health issue lingers for the mere purpose of the continuation of your witness to a modern medicinal community. Perhaps that team providing your medical care would be void of the presence of Jesus if you weren’t still there.
So cling tightly to Him in your season of waiting.
Remain in obedience to all He is calling you to do as you remain in training.
Praise Him for all you’ve seen Him do, all you see Him doing, and all you’re going to see Him do.
And then see what the Lord is going to do!
Psalm 27:13 is one I keep on repeat in my head and mouth… “Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.”
Delays of mercy, are not denials of prayer.
