MFM Daily Devotional 22nd September 2026 – Waiting Is Not Denial

We are in the era of jet age when the world at large want everything to be done speedily, a time that the word “waiting” is foreign to so many people who want fast food, fast train, fast car, fast money, fast miracles, fast solution etc.

One of the Christian virtues that is diminishing in the lives of Christians nowadays is patience. Yet, the Bible says only those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. Anything hurriedly got outside God will always lead to regret, woe and destruction. Waiting patiently in God is a major virtue God expects all His children to possess. You should know that God never comes too late. When Lazarus was sick, Jesus did not visit him until he died. He appeared when all hope was lost. If many had waited on God for a particular thing they needed, they won’t be in the mess they are today. Esau could have waited a little to prepare his own food, but he chose not. So, he sold his birthright to Jacob hurriedly because of food. Later, he sought it with tears, but it was too late.Inspirational religious articles

Many have failed the test of waiting at the junction of marriage, business, child bearing, career, ministry and so on, forgetting the fact that the Bible says “Faithful is He that has promised and He will do it.” They felt they had been denied of their expectation by God and that God was too slow. Hence, they went for fast alternatives, which ruined them.

God is faithful to His words; His ways are not our ways. He always does His own thing in his own way at His own right time. Abraham waited for God’s promises until it was fulfilled, the Bible says “Though it tarries, wait for it, because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Abraham believed against hope. His case was hopeless, yet he waited on God and he got the promise (Romans 4:17). You must disregard the voice of discouragement and wait upon the Lord like the Psalmist in Psalm 40:1. God’s plan is always the best. Sometimes, the process is painful and hard but don’t forget that when God is silent, He is doing something for you.
