When God Says “Wait”Sample

When God Says “Not Yet”

When God asks you to wait, it’s never without purpose. Sometimes, His delay isn’t a denial but divine timing. While He may be working on your heart, at other times, He may simply want to reveal His glory through you. This is a hard truth we often resist, but when we surrender our lives to Him, we hand Him the key to shape us according to His will and purpose. Every “wait” from God carries wisdom behind it.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 reminds us that “He makes all things beautiful in His time.” That means beauty often blooms after a process. If God asks you to pause, it could be because the promise is ready, but you are not, or because He wants to protect you from stepping into something prematurely.

Remember, obedience during waiting reveals maturity. Waiting isn’t inactivity; it’s faith in motion. Instead of worrying, keep trusting in God and holding on to hope that your miracle will manifest in His perfect time.

So take heart. If God ordered the meal, He would surely pay the bill. Trust that His instruction to wait is not to withhold good from you but to position you for His best. His timing may not be yours, but it is always perfect.
