The Narrow Way

There’s a tension we rarely speak aloud:
What do you do when your heart is ready,
but heaven is silent?
When you’re anointed like David,
but still tending sheep?

You wonder, “Did I miss it?”
“Was that word for someone else?”
“Why not me, why not now?”

But divine timing is not a delay.
It’s divine protection.

Because a blessing out of season
becomes a burden.

You see, premature promotion can crush a soul
that isn’t anchored in intimacy.
And God is not in the business of building platforms
He’s forming people.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 says,
“He has made everything beautiful in its time.”
Not rushed.
Not forced.
In its time.

There’s beauty in timing
not just in the promise fulfilled,
but in the God who knows when you’re ready to carry it.

Jesus Himself waited.
Thirty years before ministry.
A night in Gethsemane before glory.
Three days in the grave before the earth shook with resurrection.

He could have rushed
but He chose timing over tempo.

And so must we.

You don’t need to strive your way into what’s next.
You don’t need to manufacture the doors.
You don’t need to prove anything to be seen.

Because when it’s time,
no man can stop what heaven has scheduled.

The oil will flow.
The wind will come.
The platform will open.
The fulfillment will arrive.
And you will step into it, not with insecurity,
but with peace.

Not as someone desperate for validation,
but as someone already crowned in the secret place.

So if it hasn’t happened yet,
it’s not because God forgot.
It’s because He loves you too much
to send you before you’re fully rooted in Him.

Stay hidden.
Stay holy.
Stay ready.

Because when it’s time
you won’t have to chase it.
It will come find you.
