When Waiting Tests Our Faithfulness ⏳

Family, sometimes the hardest part of faith isn’t believing—it’s waiting.

Jesus spoke about a delay that tested readiness, not devotion.

“As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.” (Matthew 25:5)

When answers don’t come the way or the timing we expect, it’s easy for weariness to creep in. Waiting has a way of revealing what we’re truly anchored to.

Faithfulness isn’t proven in the moment of excitement, but in the quiet seasons when nothing seems to be happening. This is often where hearts are shaped and convictions are strengthened.

Take a moment today to ask:

How am I responding in the waiting—and what is God forming in me through it?

God is not absent in delay. He is working, even when the process feels slow.
