June 24th – Psalm 27:14
Did you know that on average, people spend about 7,000 hours waiting in line over their lifetime? That’s nearly 292 days spent waiting. And if you’re at all like me, you don’t enjoy it. Because we want answers now, solutions now, and prayers answered now. Waiting can feel frustrating, uncomfortable, and sometimes even discouraging.
Yet Psalm 27:14 reminds us that there is a difference between waiting in line and waiting on the Lord. Time spent waiting on God is never wasted. Because while we’re waiting, God is working. He’s preparing hearts, opening doors, closing others, teaching us to trust Him, and strengthening our faith in ways we may not see at the moment.
If we’re honest, we’d often rather have God’s answers than His process. But some of the greatest growth in our lives happens in the waiting. It’s there that we learn patience, perseverance, dependence, and trust. The waiting room of God’s will is never a wasted place, because He’s always accomplishing something good.
If you find yourself waiting today, whether it’s for direction, healing, restoration, provision, or an answered prayer, take heart. God’s delays are not His denials. He has not forgotten you. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep walking by faith. The God who called you to wait is the same God who promises to strengthen your heart while you do.
