One of the greatest struggles in the Christian life is waiting on God’s timing. We often desire immediate results, but the Bible repeatedly teaches that God’s ways are higher than our ways,“Isaian 55:8-9). God reassures us that though we may feel small or overlooked, He has set a time for His promises to unfold in our lives.
FOUR LESSONS FROM ISAIAH 60:22
- GROWTH TAKES TIME - Just as a seed must go through seasons before it becomes a mighty tree, our spiritual and personal growth follows a divine process.
- This refers to the specific actions, steps,or stages that are believed to be guided by the will of God.
- A divine process must lead a believer to a personal transformation.
- A believer is called to wait upon the Lord and he should do this uncomplaining, keeping silent in hope.(Lamentations 3:25-28 Amplified by Prophet Jeremiah).
- GOD’S ACCELERATION IS SUPERNATURAL - When the appointed time arrives, God can bring suddenbreakthroughs that change everything instantly.
- This is the idea that God can expediate process, bring about breakthrough, and fulfill his will in a timeframe that surpasses human expectations and limitations.
- Joseph was at one point a prisoner but with God’s divine acceleration, he became the Prime Minister.
- Be ready for sudden miracles. When God’s time comes, Hewill move swiftly opening doors that no one can shut.
- GOD SEES BEYOND OUR CURRENT SITUATION - We may feel insignificant now, but God already sees the mighty works he will accomplish through us.

- A story of Zachariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1:6-7 “And they both were righteous in the sight of God walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord. But they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren and both were far advanced in years.
- This was a Godly couple and they knew what it was like to be dreaming and praying for something too.
- For a long time that was their story until the time when Zachariah was visited by an angel with some big news: “Your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John” (Luke 1:13b).
- Elizabeth didn’t ask questions. She simply said, “The Lord has done this for me. in these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people” (Luke 1:25).
- PATIENCE AND FAITH ARE REQUIRED
- Trusting in God’s perfect timing strengthens our faith and builds endurance
- James 1:3-4) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
- But if we hope for what is still unseen by us,we wait for it with patience and composure (Rom 8:25).
- If you believe in God,then you must have faith that He has a purpose in the waiting.
