Life feels like it is in slow motion when are waiting for the bad seasons to end and God’s new fresh life awakens to redeem and refresh our weary souls.

Sometimes God takes His time…

One hundred and twenty years to prepare Noah for the flood.

Eighty years to prepare Moses for his work.

God called young David to be king but returned him to the sheep pasture.

He called Paul to be an apostle and then isolated him in Arabia for fourteen years.

How long will God take with you?

God redeems history — not in minutes, but in lifetimes.

We fear…

• • The depression will never lift…

• The yelling will never stop…

• The pain will never leave….

We ask…

Life in the pit stinks. Yet for all its rottenness, doesn’t it do this much?

Doesn’t it force us to look upward?

The Bible promises, at the right time, in God’s hands, intended evil becomes eventual good (Romans 8:28).

You will get through this!
