Divine Timing: When Waiting Becomes Worship
The Eagle’s Secret
“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength… soar on wings like eagles” (Isaiah 40:31). Eagles know something we often forget: rising thermals—those invisible currents that lift them higher. Our “waiting seasons” are spiritual thermals where God renews us for greater heights.
Two Vital Truths About God’s Timing
- It’s Protective: Like a parent withholding car keys until a child is ready, God’s “no” or “wait” shields us from what we’re not prepared to handle.
- It’s Preparatory: That delayed answer is often God working on you while working on it.
“For still the vision awaits its appointed time… it will surely come; it will not delay.“
— Habakkuk 2:3
The Jairus Test (Mark 5:21-43)
When Jesus paused to heal the bleeding woman, Jairus’ crisis became a masterclass in trust:
- The Devastating Report: “Your daughter is dead” (v35)
- The Divine Response: “Only believe” (v36)
- The Dramatic Result: “Talitha cumi” — “Little girl, arise” (v41)
Key Insight: What looked like a divine delay was actually God positioning Jairus to witness a greater miracle—resurrection instead of healing.
Practical Steps While Waiting
- Exchange “When?” for “Who”: Focus less on timelines and more on His character (Psalm 27:14)
- Practice “Now Faith”: Thank Him before the breakthrough (Hebrews 11:1)
- Watch for Divine Detours: Like Jairus, your interruption may be someone else’s miracle
The Promise Keeper’s Pledge
That thing you’re waiting for? God hasn’t forgotten. He’s orchestrating:
Right Person + Right Preparation + Right Moment = Unstoppable Blessing
Stand firm: The same God who resurrected Jairus’ daughter is working behind the scenes of your life.
