this morning’s devotional reminded me of something i forget far too often: God’s goodness isn’t selective or shaky — it’s who He is. His plans for us don’t disappear in quiet seasons, and waiting is not the same thing as denial.
it said, “you have no idea how obsessively good I am or how inconceivably amazing my plans are for you.” and honestly, that hit me.
trusting God is easy when i can see what He’s doing. but trusting Him in the slow, quiet, confusing seasons requires surrender. it takes grit. and it takes something else we aren’t always great at: being still.
the enemy’s voice is loud, rushed, anxious, and demanding. God’s voice is a gentle whisper.
and whispers are only heard when we slow down enough to listen.
when we create space — even small moments of stillness — we start to hear Him. the peace. the assurances. the truth that cuts through every lie.
my devotional continued, “if I’ve done it before, what makes you think I won’t do it again?”
and I can look back on countless moments where He has carried me — faithfully, quietly, powerfully.
so today I’m holding onto this:
be still.
listen for the whisper.
God has come through before, and He will come through again.
the waiting is never wasted.
Isaiah 30:18
“yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you…
blessed are all who wait for him.”
grace and grit mama
