You're Waiting, God's Working: 5-Day Plan With Holley GerthSample

You notice the clock on the wall, the days passing in the calendar, or the time ticking away in your heart. You might begin to wonder if perhaps you’ve done something wrong, if what you thought you heard from God isn’t real, if maybe the desire of your heart will go unfulfilled.

But while you’re waiting, God is working. Even before you spoke your first prayer, he had already begun. As you are going through each day and sleeping through the night, he is turning his purposes into reality.

It’s hard not to see what God is doing or know when the time will come. Yet that’s what faith means—to believe without sight. To wait, trust, and keep watching. You’ve been doing that on this journey, and God notices. He understands that it’s difficult sometimes. He doesn’t condemn you for wanting a "yes" now. Instead, he offers all you need to press on with him.

A delay doesn’t mean you’ve taken a detour. It doesn’t mean a closed door. It simply can mean that our ways are not like God’s. The eternal One isn’t limited by time in the way we are here. He has heard you. He still hears you. And he is listening with love.

You have not been overlooked, forgotten, or set aside for something more important. Every detail of your circumstance is in his care. You’re never out of his thoughts, never out of his plans. Not for one day. Not for one moment. Not even for a second.
