Proverbs 10:22 (NIV)

The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it.

When it seems like some people are moving and you are at a particular stage for so long, how do you feel? Rejected, unloved and forgotten right? It's a terrible feeling and a terrible position to be in at a glance even. Have you come to consider those that move faster than their pace without following due process as they end up getting wounded and this also have its spiral effect because their families suffer even more. Not every success you see that you have come to admire come from God.

When it seems like some are moving and you are stationed in a place then there's a lesson you need to learn, a point you need to hold on to. God is always intentional. Nothing is a mistake. A speed bump is not to stop you permanently but temporarily. Whatever delay you are experiencing is not to discourage you but to build your capacity for what God is about to do next. Without the right capacity, you won't be able to sustain the progress and that is why God halts us sometimes. We need to take a pause to reflect.

You've been racing your whole life and looking at others ahead of you with the determination to catch up so you can feel like you belonged to them. The moment you got to a speed bump, you get to slow down. Life's challenges and delays are God's way of telling us to slow down, so we can take a moment to ponder before forging ahead.

Job 23:10 (NIV)

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

God makes everything beautiful in His own time and time and chance happen to everything under the sun. The waiting period should be a time to invest in yourself and build capacity for what's to come. How do you feature in a future that you cannot picture or have the strength to carry? Your capacity building moment is not a time to worry and be anxious of what will become of you, it is settled by God already but do all you can while God will do all you can't. God is a God of order and process. In that process, He is more vested in your interest than what you are about to get out from it.

No one is destined to be stationed in a place, so stop thinking you have reached the peak of your life, don't think of ending it there. Yesterday's achievement is tomorrow's mediocrity. Don't even think of giving up because great things have been planned for you and they must happen as the fulfilment of purpose and prophecy. How do you tell your children that you gave up because you couldn't trust God fully?

Stop calculating your life with other people's time, you are not them, they are not you. Each man is running his own race and God is the determinant of the outcome. Just keep to your pace and your lane. You will surely get to your land of fulfilment if you don't give up, if you trust God more and if you use your waiting period as a process needed for self actualization and personal development.
