2/26/25 Faith in the Waiting

Takeaway: Trusting God’s preparation process.

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for this new day and for the opportunity to draw near to You. Open my heart and mind as I reflect on Your Word. Help me to recognize the moments You place before me and to act with wisdom, grace, and courage. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection

Waiting is never easy. Whether we are waiting for an answered prayer, a breakthrough, or clarity about the future, the unknown can be unsettling. We live in a world that values speed—fast results, instant gratification, and immediate solutions. Yet, God often works differently. His preparation process takes time, shaping us for what lies ahead.

Psalm 27:14 is a powerful reminder to trust God’s timing. David, the author of this psalm, knew what it meant to wait. Anointed as king while still a shepherd, he endured years of hardship before he took the throne. In that waiting, he learned to trust God, grow in strength, and develop a deeper faith.

Waiting is not wasted time—it is a refining time. It is in the waiting that God strengthens our hearts, deepens our trust, and prepares us for what is to come. Instead of seeing waiting as a delay, we can choose to see it as God’s divine preparation.

Application

• We often set our own deadlines for when things should happen. Instead of holding tightly to your expectations, allow patience to grow as you wait.

• Waiting on God does not mean doing nothing. Use this time to grow—pray, serve, study God’s Word.

• When impatience creeps in, remind yourself of times God has come through before.

Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father, waiting is hard, but I know Your timing is perfect. Strengthen my heart, deepen my faith, and help me trust Your preparation process. May I use this season to grow in You and bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
