Scripture Of The Day

“The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord; in its time I will do this swiftly.” — Isaiah 60:22

By Cheryl Henderson

We often want God to move now. We pray, we wait, and sometimes we wonder if anything is happening. But this verse reminds us that God has a “when.” He knows the right time to bring His promises to pass.

A seed doesn’t become a tree overnight. There is a season of waiting, growing, and developing beneath the surface. Just because we cannot see what God is doing doesn’t mean He isn’t working.

Then comes the promise: “In its time I will do this swiftly.” When God’s appointed time comes, what seemed to take forever can change in a moment.

So don’t give up because you don’t see the answer yet. Keep trusting, keep believing, and keep doing what God has called you to do.

God is never late. He is preparing you for the right time—and when that time comes, He can do more in a moment than you could accomplish in years.

Prayer: Lord, help me trust Your timing. Give me grace in the waiting and faith to believe that when the time is right, You will bring Your purposes to pass. Amen.
