The Pause


We all find ourselves in a season of waiting at one point or another.

Waiting for the doctor report.
Waiting for the marriage to be restored.
Waiting for the financial breakthrough.
Waiting for a directional assignment.
Waiting for clarity over a decision that has to be made.

Waiting is hard.

And this morning I said the words again. The ones that have been on repeat for this wanderer: “We can’t know what You’re doing, but we can trust You in the process.”

Yes. That!

And in that moment He would ask that I’d look that word up. Because sometimes we think we know a meaning, but there’s deeper revelation in it. More He’s willing to expose to a willing recipient.

The word process. It means this... “a systematic series of actions directed to some end; a series of changes taking place in a definite manner; the condition of being carried on; sometimes to undergo an aptitude examination before the termination of a period of time; to convert into marketable form by a special series of steps; prepared or modified; a series of progressive and interdependent steps by which an end is attained."

Yes!

The process!

Your aim, God, is always heart transformation. The pause is always to make us profitable.

And so you and I can trust the process. The process that is directed at an end... the process that reminds us that we never go in it alone - but rather we are carried on. The process that allows conversion by way of steps that are safeguarded by the One who knows the benefit that will be ultimately produced by consistent determination to stay in the game no matter what.

He’s preparing you even now in the waiting, for bigger things than you can ever imagine!

Hang on sweet friend. Embrace the process. Trust the process. He’s in the middle just waiting for your full surrendered heart.

And He’s all you’ll ever need to make it through to the end.
