Learn to Wait

Day 48 of 365  •  FORMATION

Do not say, ‘I will repay evil’; wait for the Lord, and he will deliver you.

Proverbs 20:22 (ESV)

Proverb Truth

Waiting has never been easy for me.

I like solutions. I like answers. I like seeing progress.

But life with God often involves waiting. Waiting for doors to open. Waiting for healing. Waiting for answers.

And while waiting can feel frustrating, I’ve discovered that God does some of His deepest work during those seasons.

Because waiting teaches us trust. It reminds us that we are not in control. And maybe that’s not a bad thing.

Jesus in Action

Jesus waited thirty years before beginning His ministry.

The Father was never late. And neither is He in our lives.

Forged Wisdom

Seneca wrote: “He who is everywhere is nowhere.”

Patience keeps us grounded.

The No Limits Challenge

Trust God’s timing in one area where you’ve been impatient.

Prayer

Father, teach me to trust Your timing. Help me remain patient and faithful while I wait for You. Amen.
