Key Scripture:
“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” – Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
Reflection:
Waiting often feels like wasted time, but in God’s economy, waiting is training. Those who wait on the Lord are promised renewed strength, the ability to mount up with wings like eagles, to run and not grow weary, to walk and not faint. Waiting on Him is not passive boredom, it is an active posture of trust and expectation.
In the waiting room of God, your motives are refined and your roots go deeper. You face questions about whether you truly trust His timing and wisdom. You learn to let go of the demand that He move according to your schedule and instead lean into His character.
As you wait, you can keep doing the last thing He clearly told you to do. You can pray, serve, learn, and grow rather than freeze. When the time comes for God to open the next door, you will discover that the waiting season has quietly shaped you into someone more ready to carry His purposes.
Prayer:
Father, waiting is hard for me. Strengthen my heart to trust Your timing and purposes, and use my waiting to deepen my faith instead of feeding my frustration. Amen.
Today’s Action Step:
Think of one area where you are waiting on God. Write down how you can actively trust Him in this waiting season through prayer, serving, or learning, and do one of those things today.
