Stop Waiting for the Perfect Moment
Let’s clear this up: waiting has a purpose when God specifically says wait. Waiting is not laziness. Waiting is not procrastination. Waiting is not you sitting on your God-given gifts, talents, and visions while life passes you by. There’s a time to wait—and a time to go. Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” But some of us have turned our whole lives into a season of waiting.
You’re not waiting on God. He’s waiting on you.
Faith Moves
Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” You can’t claim to have faith while doing absolutely nothing. Real faith moves. Real faith builds. Real faith steps out, even when the road isn’t paved yet. Abraham didn’t wait for all the details—he obeyed. “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out… not knowing where he was going.” (Hebrews 11:8)
That’s what faith looks like. It’s not always comfortable. But comfort never produced a miracle.
What Are You Really Waiting For?
If God gave you a vision, a business idea, a dream, or a burden for ministry—and you’ve done nothing because you’re “waiting for confirmation”—this is your confirmation.
You’re waiting for clarity. He’s asking for trust.
You’re waiting for a sign. He’s waiting for obedience.
You’re waiting for resources. He’s saying go with what’s in your hand.
Moses tried that excuse too. God called him, and Moses responded, “What if they don’t believe me?” and “I’m not a good speaker.” God wasn’t trying to hear it. (Exodus 3–4). Instead, He asked, “What is that in your hand?” (Exodus 4:2)
Translation: Use what you have. Start where you are. Walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Waiting as an Excuse
Let’s be real—“waiting” has become a spiritual excuse to stay in the comfort zone. We delay obedience. We postpone purpose. We avoid risk. But God never said, “Sit still and I’ll deliver it to your lap.” He said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened” (Matthew 7:7). Those are actions. Asking, seeking, and knocking require you to move.
There’s a powerful scripture in Proverbs 20:4:
"A sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing."
You can’t expect a harvest if you never planted a seed.
Obedience Is Better Than Waiting
Here’s the truth: waiting without action is often disobedience in disguise. Faith is proven by your steps. You want God to bless what you haven’t even started. But God breathes on obedience. He multiplies what you give Him. Remember the boy with the five loaves and two fish? (John 6:1–13) He gave what he had. Jesus blessed that. Don’t expect miracles if you’re hoarding your obedience.
Move While You Wait
Yes, there are divine waiting seasons. But even in those, you prepare. You grow. You sow. You sharpen your skills. Waiting in the Bible was never passive. It was active trust.
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles…” (Isaiah 40:31)
That verse is not about standing still—it’s about gaining momentum.
Stop calling hesitation “wisdom.” Stop labeling fear as “discernment.” If God gave you an assignment, you don’t need another prophecy. You need a plan.
Faith without action is not just incomplete—it’s dead.
So don’t waste another year “waiting.” Walk by faith. Launch the business. Write the book. Start the blog. Apply for the job. Open your mouth. Step into the room.
God will meet you where you move.
