Delay isn’t denial

You’ve prayed.
You’ve waited.
You’ve wondered…
When, God?

But the answer…
It hasn’t arrived.

Why?

Because our timing…
Isn’t God’s timing.

His ways…
Aren’t our ways.

He sees what we don’t.
He knows what we can’t.
(Isaiah 55:9)

He makes everything beautiful in its time.
(Ecclesiastes 3:11)

But waiting…
It can be uncomfortable.
It can be painful.

But He sees the entire puzzle.
We see a single piece.

He knows what fits where and when.
He knows what’s best.

His timing is perfect.
Ours is impatient.

But let me remind you…
A delay isn’t a denial.

Just because it hasn’t happened yet…
Doesn’t mean it won’t.

There may be things that need to fall into place.
There may be things you need to learn first.
There may be something else.

It’s not our job to know the why.
It’s our job to trust that God wants what’s best…
He wants you blessed.

So, let’s do our best to stay faithful.
Let’s do our best to trust.

If there’s something on your heart…
Something you’ve been praying about…
Stay persistent in your prayers.

Let’s not feel dejected because an answer hasn’t arrived.
Let’s delight in the Lord, knowing He’s orchestrating things on our behalf.
(Romans 8:28)

Let’s praise Him through the process.
Let’s be confident that good things are coming.
Because good things are coming.
(Philippians 1:6)
