Gen 45:5 "Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me  before you to preserve life."


In the journey of life, you must learn to trust God even when life seems not to make sense. There is a purpose in every delay one experiences. Perhaps, the reason why you are in the waiting room of God is because He wants you to lean more on Him, trust His timing, and strengthen your faith in the end.

How you respond in this delay period may influence others in their decisions to follow Christ. It is possible that going through all of this mess in your life will help you lead someone else through a similar situation later on. The delay is for a purpose. Like Joseph, you may not see the purpose for the delay and struggles until much later. But also like him, you should remain faithful and trust that God knows what is happening.

Beloved, God may seem silent but that doesn’t mean He has abandoned you. He is actually at work in the background. Like a building going up behind a wall, we can’t see the progress. But that doesn’t mean nothing is happening. God’s good plans for you are being carried out and this delay is needed to prepare you for those plans.

Joseph’s life points out to us that even tragedy and evil that one experiences while waiting can be part of God’s plan for good. Don't give up on God because, whether you see evidence of it or not right now, God will come through for you. His delay is not a denial!

PRAYER: The situation in your life right now shall end in praise, in Jesus name.
