God's Timing vs. My Expectations
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV)
Key Points
Delay is not denial - Waiting doesn't mean nothing is happening; it often means God is working in ways we can't see yet
God works with a full view of time - While we only see the moment we're in, God sees the complete picture and His timing is perfect
Strength is built in the waiting - Waiting on God isn't weakness; it's courage. Trust and strength are often developed during seasons of waiting, not after

Closing Word
If today feels slow, stuck, or unclear, it doesn't mean you're behind. It may mean God is protecting you, preparing you, or aligning things you can't see yet. You're not late. You're not forgotten. You're not stuck.
