What Are You Waiting For?

What Are You Waiting For?

When faith stops waiting and starts moving.

A Moment Behind the Message

This week’s episode was born out of a very personal question I asked myself not too long ago:
Was I really waiting on God… or was I afraid to move?

I remember staring at a verse I’d read a hundred times before — “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” (Psalm 27:14)
And for the first time, I felt God whisper, “But I’ve already told you to go.”

That gentle correction changed everything.
It reminded me that there’s a difference between waiting in faith and hesitating in fear—and that sometimes, obedience is the movement God’s been waiting for.

When Waiting Feels Safe

Waiting can look holy. It sounds patient, responsible, even wise.
But if you peel it back, sometimes “waiting” is just our fear wearing a halo.

We wait for clarity we already have.
We wait for perfect timing when the door is already cracked open.
We tell ourselves we’re praying for confirmation, but really, we’re protecting our comfort.

And yet, faith was never meant to stay still.

“The steps of a righteous person are ordered by the Lord.”
—Psalm 37:23

Steps. Not standing.
Movement is built into faith.

When Faith Builds Before the Rain

Think about Noah.
God told him to build an ark before there was a single sign of rain.
He didn’t wait for the thunder to start rumbling—he trusted what he heard.

That’s what faith looks like sometimes:
building when the sky is still clear,
trusting that obedience will make sense later.

Obedience opens what hesitation only imagines.

A Quiet Reflection for You

What if the breakthrough you’ve been praying for doesn’t require a new answer from God…
but a new action from you?

Take a quiet moment today and ask:

“Lord, have You already told me to move?”

If something rises in your spirit, write it down.
Even if your next step feels small—or shaky—take it anyway.

Because when you move with God, you never move alone.
He orders each step, confirms it as you go, and meets you right where courage begins.

✨ Encouragement for your spirit. Wisdom for your walk.
