This year, I bought all types of seeds to plant in our garden. Squash, tomatoes, radish, sweet potatoes, and even watermelon. On the back of each seed pack were directions on when to plant the seeds. For each seed type, there was a different window of time to plant the seeds to ensure the right conditions for them to grow and produce fruit. This ensures that the seed grows in the optimal environment to flourish and fruit. If it is planted out of season, and the weather and its environment is not conducive to its growth, it will not produce fruit and eventually die.
But when it’s planted at the proper time, it grows into the perfect conditions to blossom. Many times, we want to give up because we’re tired of waiting or we’ve received God’s wait as His no. But waiting doesn’t mean no God’s not going to do it, it simply means wait for it. But our impatience tells us our waiting season is a sure sign that we are wasting our time on this good work. But we must be reminded of this truth:
Your waiting is not wasting!
God does not have you in a waiting season to waste your time. It’s not that God does not want you to experience the fruit of your good work, but He wants you to be able to maintain it and that type of growth takes time and must happen at the right time. Trust me, God is always worth the wait. Today, I encourage you to trust God’s perfect timing and don’t give up while you wait.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you that my waiting season is not a waste. Help me to be patient more while I wait and trust that You have a special plan for my life, and are preparing me for the right season for me to blossom in You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
