It’s easy to believe we’re late.
Late to the calling.
Late to healing.
Late to obedience.
Late to becoming who God said we would be.
But Scripture never measures faithfulness by speed.
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1)
God is not rushed.
And He is not confused about your timeline.
Comparison whispers that others are ahead — that if you were more disciplined, more spiritual, more obedient, you’d be further along by now.
But comparison ignores one thing: God works personally, not competitively.
“Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us…”
(Romans 12:6)
Abraham waited.
Joseph was delayed.
David was anointed long before he was appointed.
Even Jesus lived quietly for thirty years before beginning His public ministry.
Delay is not denial.
And slowness is not disobedience.
“He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:24)
You are not behind.
You are being formed.
What God is building in you often matters more than what He is building through you.
So breathe.
Stay faithful.
Keep walking.
The same God who set the promise also sets the pace.
