When God’s promises feel delayed, it can be hard to keep trusting that He is still at work. Yet Scripture reminds us that God’s timing is never careless and never late. This daily Christian devotional and prayer reflects on how the Lord fulfills His promises at exactly the right moment, bringing clarity, joy, and renewed faith after long seasons of waiting.
Today we continue our Waiting for Christ Advent series by turning to Luke 1:57–66 and witnessing the birth of John the Baptist. What God had spoken quietly now unfolds publicly. A promised child is born, obedience replaces expectation, and awe spreads as the people recognize that the hand of the Lord is with this child. Every detail unfolds just as God declared, reminding us that His Word never fails.
This devotional explores why waiting seasons are never wasted, how obedience prepares the heart for praise, and why God’s purposes often become clear only after patience has done its work. If you have been waiting for direction, answers, or fulfillment of a promise that feels long overdue, this message will help steady your heart with the assurance that God’s timing is always good.
• Why God’s timing is always purposeful, never delayed
