Waiting…
doesn’t mean
God isn’t working.
Sometimes…
waiting
is how
He works. Wait with Him
Most of us have prayed a prayer…
and then looked at our watches.
We ask.
We hope.
We wait.
Sometimes we even wonder if God heard us at all.
I’ve learned something over the years.
God rarely works according to my schedule.
He works according to His wisdom.
Looking back over my life…
I can now see that many of the things I desperately wanted…
I wasn’t yet ready to receive.
Sometimes He was preparing the answer.
Other times…
He was preparing me.
There is a difference.
TRUST HIS TIMING
A fruit picked too early isn’t sweeter.
It’s simply unripe.
A child rushed into adulthood misses the beauty of growing.
A foundation poured too quickly cannot support the building it was meant to carry.
God understands preparation better than we understand impatience.
What feels like delay to us…
may actually be protection.
Or preparation.
Or perfect timing quietly unfolding.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
What if the answer you’ve been waiting for…
is already on its way…
but God is lovingly preparing you to receive it?
PUT LEGS ON IT
Keep praying.
Keep growing.
Keep serving.
Keep believing.
Don’t measure God’s faithfulness by your calendar.
Measure it by His character.
He has never failed you.
RICHIE SPEAKING
Some of the prayers I once thought God ignored…
later became the blessings I thanked Him for delaying.
PEARLS CONNECTION
📖 God I AM reminds us that God’s timing is an expression of His love, not His distance. Faith grows strongest when we trust His heart even before we understand His schedule.
FINAL THOUGHT
God’s clock…
has never been broken.
Trust the One…
who already sees…
the perfect moment.
