So often, when God gets still and our prayer seems lost somewhere between heaven and earth, we jump to the conclusion that God is not listening, not caring, not moving.
We start to believe we’ve come to a dead end, that this is “just the way it will always be.” We place a period at the end of our hope, the end of our dream, the end of faith.
And yet, so many times, when we can’t sense God working, when everything is still, when we feel as though God has said “no”, God is simply pausing. Pausing until the circumstances are right, the answer is right, and the timing is right.
We want it at this very moment, God wants it the moment it should be. We want it now, but God wants it perfect. We want what we want, God wants what is best.
Don’t mistake God’s comma for a period. While you are pausing, while you are waiting on God, keep trusting, keep hoping, keep believing. In the end, it will be worth the wait.
Resurrection morning is proof that even in the pause, even in the comma places of our life, God is still there working all things for good and for His glory.
When God is all said and done, all you will be able to say about what He has done is “Thank you, God”. ~
