When God’s Timing Doesn't Match Our Expectations


Daily Scripture

“But the Israelites were fruitful, increased rapidly, multiplied, and became extremely numerous so that the land was filled with them.”

Exodus 1:7


devotion

In Exodus 1, we see how God’s promises were unfolding for the Israelites even when the circumstances weren’t as expected. Though they were thriving, it seemed like things were going well, but then a new Pharaoh arose who did not remember Joseph’s contributions. Sometimes, when we are experiencing growth or progress in our lives, it feels like God's plan is working, but then suddenly life takes an unexpected turn. It's important to remember that God's timing and methods are not always what we expect. His faithfulness does not depend on our circumstances.

Have you ever experienced a moment where God’s promises seemed delayed or unmet, but looking back, you saw His hand working in ways you hadn’t expected?
