🌿 Placed With Purpose

Waiting seasons can feel like they put us on pause while everyone else is moving forward. You scroll, you see milestones, you hear success stories, and the enemy whispers: “You’re behind.”

But comparison is a thief. And God never asked you to run someone else’s race.

The truth is: sometimes God uses waiting not to withhold, but to reposition.
He moves us into alignment with His will, His timing, and His best.

📖 When God Repositions You

The Bible is filled with stories that remind us that delay isn’t denial — it’s positioning:

• David wasn’t overlooked when Samuel anointed others first — he was being positioned to be king.

• Ruth wasn’t forgotten in her loss — she was being repositioned into the lineage of Jesus.

• Paul wasn’t delayed in prison — he was being repositioned to write letters that still change lives today.

Comparison says: “Why not me?”
Reposition says: “God, I trust where You’re leading me.”

Philippians 4:11 reminds us: “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.”
That’s not settling — it’s trusting that even here, even now, God is still faithful and still moving.

You’re not behind.
You’re not overlooked.
