Beloved,

“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” – Deuteronomy 33:27

There are seasons in life when it seems like the mountain before us will never move. We have prayed, fasted, trusted, and waited, but the challenge persists. In these moments, our faith can feel worn, and our hope stretches thin. But take heart: this season is not your end, and your delay is not your defeat.

When God is preparing to elevate a person, He often removes the familiar supports, the people we lean on, the resources we trust in, even the ministers we seek.

Disappointments may come from the most unexpected places. It is in this divine stripping that we come face-to-face with our humanity, our fragility, and finally acknowledge that only God is our true source.

This moment of helplessness is where total dependence on God is birthed and where our faith is refined. Just when it seems darkest, the Almighty steps in. He lifts us in ways that defy logic and expectation. He silences the mockers and proves Himself strong on our behalf.

God has not forgotten you. He has not concluded your case. Though support systems may crumble, His everlasting arms will never fail. Trust in His perfect timing, and know that your testimony will come, one that will cause all who doubted to marvel at what the Lord has done. Keep your faith alive in God.
