If I'm honest this has been a hard season for me lately. I've been struggling with trusting God's timing. I was reminded when reading Psalm 37 today that I am to be still before Yahweh and wait patiently. That Yahweh is good to those who wait for him and seek him, and it is good to wait quietly for God’s salvation (Lam. 3:25–26). This quiet waiting involves hoping in God’s word while the soul waits more intensely than watchmen awaiting morning (Psalm 130:5–6).
I was reminded that prior to preaching to thousands, for a season Peter went back to fishing after thinking he failed Jesus. That Paul sat in prison cells, Lazarus lay in a tomb, Jonah prayed in the belly of a fish, Hannah wept on the steps of the tabernacle, Joseph was locked in the captivity, and Moses stood in the fields of Median herding sheep. All before God made moves in his timing.
Times of waiting, while hard, remind us of the confidence we should have in God’s timing and character. When direction seems slow in coming, we're called to wait for it, assured it will come when the time is ready (Hab. 2:3). Yahweh himself waits to be gracious and show mercy, and those who wait for him are blessed, for he is a God of justice (Isa. 30:18). Rather than taking matters into their own hands, like I often am tempted to do, we are instructed not to repay evil but to wait for the Lord, who will deliver us (Prov 20:22).
Hoping for what is unseen involves waiting with patience (Romans 8:25), and through the Spirit and faith, believers eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness (Galatians 5:5). Waiting involves expectancy and hope regarding events and contingencies still in the future, it's the outworking of a spiritual posture directed at trusting God’s promises and timing rather than our own understanding.
Knowing all of this, writing here on X doesn't make my season of needing to wait any easier, but the consistent, inspired, inerrant testimony of scripture nonetheless gives me something solid to trust in. I am fickle, impatient, and finite. God is trustworthy, forbearing, and infinite. And his timing is right even if I don't know how or when things will happen.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Noah’s Ark Scans is thrilled to announce that we have just received a landmark UNANIMOUS vote of approval from Turkish officials to launch the most advanced scientific expedition at the Durupınar boat-shaped formation ever conducted in history.
We officially have the permits.
We are now preparing to deploy never-before-used, cutting-edge technology on the site. The American team at Noah’s Ark Scans, partnered with aligned scientists and experts, will use LiDAR, ground-penetrating radar, seismic imaging, drone mapping, core drilling, and an underground drone named ‘Gopher’.
For decades, Modern Science has scoffed at the biblical account of Noah’s Ark in Genesis.
But in 2026, the evidence is coming.
@Coach_Yac I’m not sure why our picks are getting so much hate. I feel like they’re all solid for the most part. We clearly trust the line we’ve developed in free agency.
Remember Stanley Meyers?
The man who invented a water-powered car, breaking down hydrogen bonds through electrolysis via a toroidal electromagnetic coil engine?
Remember how they classified his work and how he ran out of a cafe yelling "I've been poisoned" before he died?
