Isaya 25:1

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful devotional. Choose to serve God. Choose to honor Him. Choose to exalt Christ above the things of this world. What does your heart crave? You can either worship the idols of this world — or you can choose to serve The True and Living God. Let God lead your heart as you read this heart-transforming message.

There are seasons when we wonder if God is still at work. Answers seem delayed, promises feel distant, and the heart can grow tired. Yet Isaiah 25:1 reminds us that God remains faithful to what He has spoken. He forgets nothing. In this plan, you will discover how to remember what He has already done, how to keep trusting Him even when you cannot yet see the outcome, and how to choose praise before the promise is fulfilled. If you are still waiting on God for something, these few days can help renew your hope.

No matter our hectic schedules and unending to-do lists, an integral part of us longs for a deeper connection to God. Over the next five days, you’ll be reading about hope, suffering, worship, surrender, and quiet. As we read in Isaiah 30:15, “in quietness and trust is your strength.” Here may you find renewed strength as you rest in the quietness of a God who never leaves you.

When you find yourself in the wait, don't despair! Though sometimes it is hard to understand God's timing, he always has a purpose for the delay. This five-day plan will encourage you as you work on the four keys to surviving your season of waiting. With God's help, when we praise, prepare, plant, and persist, the wait goes from obstacle to opportunity.
