The struggle isn’t about faith or desire. It’s the trap of running ahead of God.

Scripture puts it plainly in Ecclesiastes 3:1 (ESV): “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” When you rush, thinking you can cut the corners God has set, the natural consequence is a slowdown. It’s like trying to sprint a marathon—it burns you out, and the finish line remains just out of reach.

Consider the story of Joseph in Genesis 37-50. Joseph had big dreams, visions given to him by God, but his journey wasn’t an instant triumph. He was sold into slavery, falsely accused, imprisoned—far from the throne he was destined to occupy. Yet, God’s perfect timing was at work behind the scenes. Joseph’s “wait” was necessary preparation. When his time came, he walked out of prison not as a broken man, but as Egypt’s second-in-command, ready to save nations during famine.

Does that sound like wasted time? Hardly. Joseph’s years of waiting were a training ground—an essential chapter before the “now” arrived.

You might feel that your progress is a loop: one step forward, two steps back. But look deeper. Remember 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV): “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The starting point today isn’t the same as it was when you first heard your calling. You’re stronger, wiser, and more equipped—though you might not see it yet.

The wait isn’t a punishment; it’s God’s refining fire. And when the wait is over, make no mistake—it is time.

Ecclesiastes 11:4 (NIV) warns: “Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.” When the moment comes, don’t hesitate. Move forward with faith, trusting that God knew exactly when you’d be ready.

The K.I.S.S. ~ The wait is over!

It’s your time to create your now.

Maybe you’re wondering how to know when the waiting season ends. Watch for the doors God opens—sometimes unexpectedly—and the peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). When God’s timing is right, the path seems to open with clarity.

The prophet Isaiah encouraged: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:18-19, NIV). That’s your cue. The wait has ended. The new thing God is doing is breaking through.

Your next move? Step boldly into your calling. The wait isn’t wasted; it’s your foundation. Your story isn’t stuck; it’s in preparation. Now it’s time to run—not ahead of God—but alongside Him with confidence.

Remember the wisdom in Psalm 37:23-24 (ESV): “The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.” God is holding your hand, steadying you through every challenge, every delay. When the wait is over, He won’t just let go—He’ll propel you forward on the path He prepared.

The wait is over. Your moment is now. Walk boldly in the purpose God has meticulously designed for you.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
