In seasons of waiting, we might liken our lives to freshly planted seeds. On the surface, the ground appears dormant. Yet, under the soil, seeds are preparing to sprout. To try and rush the growth process can have detrimental results; we may disrupt the young roots or overwater the seeds in our haste for the harvest. In truth, all we can do is give the seeds what they need and let their process take its course. We wait in patient expectation for the seedlings to burst forth. This natural cycle of waiting and growth teaches us about patience and trust in God’s timing, even when progress isn’t visible on the surface…Like seeds planted in a garden, we are tended and cared for by divine hands for a vibrant unfolding. Embracing this season with hope not only offers us peace now but also prepares us for the joyful revelation of what is to come…Hope is not just an expectation; it’s a way of life.
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. [Isaiah 64:4]
