Hidden Doesn’t Mean Forgotten: Trusting God’s Timing

I was reflecting on how often we assume that if we don’t see it, God must not be moving. But the truth is— God does His most powerful work in hidden places.

• The seed breaks open in the soil—underground.

• The baby is formed in the womb—unseen.

• The breakthrough is arranged in the spirit—before it manifests in the natural.

He’s not just preparing the answer or the promise—He’s preparing you.

(Ephesians 3:20 says that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask, think, or imagine.) But sometimes, in the waiting, we settle. We assume delay means denial or we try to adjust our expectations so we don’t feel disappointed.

But God doesn’t lower His plans to match our doubts.

He stretches our faith to match His purpose.

That’s why it’s so important to keep walking even when it doesn’t look like anything’s happening.

This season might look like:

• Holding onto God’s word without visible confirmation.

• Showing up to the job God told you to leave… while secretly building what’s next

• Pouring into that dream that feels slow. small, or unseen.

• Believing in restoration in a relationship that still looks broken.

• Being faithful in singleness while longing for the promise.

• Praying for your child or loved one while nothing has changed… yet.

But every moment of obedience is a seed. And when God answers—it won’t just be what you asked for. It will be more.

What You’re Waiting For is Worth the Wait:

God doesn’t waste your obedience. He multiplies it.

Even if it looks like others have already “received their package,” don’t compare timelines. Your package might look delayed—but it’s still on the way. And when it arrives, you’ll see that it was worth every second of trust.

Closing Prayer:

God, thank You for being the Author of more. More peace. More joy. More purpose. More than I could ever imagine. Help me to stay faithful in the waiting… trusting that You are preparing something greater than I could ask for. I believe You’re not just answering my prayers; You’re exceeding them. Strengthen my trust, grow my patience, and keep my eyes on You.

In Jesus’ name,

amen.
