God’s Timing: The Waiting Room of Purpose
“Be still, and know that I am God..." — Psalm 46:10
There’s something about waiting that humbles a man. It’s like being in a doctor’s office, knowing you need healing but having no idea when your name will be called. You see other people come and go, but you're still sitting there, tapping your foot, checking your watch, wondering, Did they forget about me?
I’ve been there—waiting for clarity, for breakthrough, for that one move that shifts everything. And if you’re reading this, you probably have too.
God Moves Different
One thing I’ve learned? God’s timing doesn’t move at the speed of my impatience. He’s not rushing just because I’m uncomfortable. He’s not reacting—He’s orchestrating.
See, we live in a world that’s all about now. Quick money. Quick success. Quick validation. But God? He’s about foundation. And a foundation takes time.
Think about David. Anointed as king but sent back to the fields. Joseph? Given a dream but thrown into a prison. Even Jesus? Thirty years of preparation for a three-year ministry. God moves different because He sees what we can’t.
The Stillness Strategy
Psalm 46:10 isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a command. Be still. Not passive, not lazy, but still. That’s a posture of trust. Because let’s be real—our first instinct is to move. To fix it ourselves. To manipulate the timeline.
But God is saying, "I need you to sit down and know who I am."
When we rush ahead of Him, we end up exhausted. We birth things prematurely. We settle for good when He had great.
What to Do While You Wait
So what do we do when God has us in the waiting room?
Stay in Position – David didn’t leave the fields just because he was anointed. Stay faithful where you are. The call will come.
Refine Your Character – Delays aren’t denials; they’re development. If He’s making you wait, He’s making you ready.
Pray, Then Listen – Prayer isn’t just talking; it’s tuning in. What is God whispering in this season?
Release Control – His plan will always be better than yours. Let go. Breathe. Trust.
Your Moment is Coming
I don’t know what you’re waiting on—healing, direction, opportunity, peace—but I know this: If God said it, it’s already done. The manifestation is just catching up with the promise.
So while you wait, be still. Not stagnant, not fearful—just still. Because when He moves, it’ll be right on time.
And when your name gets called? Oh, you’ll know it was worth the wait.
