Luke 23:44-49. John 11:1,3. With God, a waiting season is never a wasted season. God’s delays are not necessarily God’s denial. John 11:4-5. Waiting is not about a God who is distant from us, but it’s revealing of how close we are to Him. If God always met your expectations, He’d never have the opportunity to exceed them. The only thing harder than waiting on God is wishing that you had.
