Waiting can feel like weakness. In our fast-paced world, we often associate inaction with failure or loss. But Scripture flips that thinking upside down. Psalm 27:14 challenges us to “wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage.” It suggests that waiting is not passive—it’s a battlefield of the heart, where strength is forged in trust.
Many of us know what it feels like to be stuck in seasons of uncertainty—job transitions, relationship tension, unanswered prayers. We don’t want to sit still. We want movement, clarity, results. But what if that stillness is where God grows our spiritual muscles?
The Bible often shows us that strength isn’t just found in fighting—sometimes it’s found in not moving until God says, “Now.”
How do you view spiritual waiting?
Where have you seen strength grow during a season of stillness?
