The Narrow Way

There’s a holy tension in waiting.
The last assignment is complete,
but the next hasn’t fully unfolded.
You’re standing in a place that feels unfinished
not empty, but unsettled.

This is where faith grows deeper than feelings.
This is where trust takes root.
Hebrews 10:36 says,
“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.”

The middle is where the enemy whispers, “God forgot.”
But heaven answers, “God is preparing.”
Every day of waiting is shaping your endurance, sharpening your hearing,
and preparing your spirit to carry what’s next.

Think of Joseph.
Dreams spoken in youth,
but years passed through prison and pit before the palace opened.
Think of David.
Anointed king, yet still tending sheep,
still fleeing caves,
still learning to sing in the shadows before sitting on the throne.

The wait is not punishment.
It’s process.
It’s the slow work of God anchoring your faith so deep
that when the assignment comes,
you don’t just walk into it, you last in it.

Isaiah 40:31 declares,
“Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles.”
The wait doesn’t weaken you, it renews you.
The middle doesn’t waste you, it strengthens you.

So worship while you wait.
Pray like the answer is already coming.
Serve where your feet are now,
because the same God who was faithful in the last assignment
will be faithful in the next one.

And when the door finally swings open,
you’ll walk through not weary,
but ready.
Not drained,
but overflowing.
Not questioning,
but confident that the God who kept you in the waiting
will carry you into the promise.
