Earlier today on Bellshill Salvation Army Band’s Facebook page I shared some devotions. I’d like to share those devotions with you tonight.
Waiting is one of the hardest parts of faith.
- We wait for answers.
- We wait for clarity.
- We wait for healing, direction, breakthrough, or simply the strength to keep going.
And in the waiting, it’s easy to feel stuck and alone, like nothing is moving, nothing is changing, and God is silent and distant
But the truth is far stronger than what we feel. Even when life seems paused, God is already ahead of you, preparing what comes next.
Waiting is not wasted time, it’s shaping time.
All through Scripture, God did some of His deepest work in seasons that looked still on the surface:
- Joseph waited in prison — but God was preparing the palace.
- David waited in the fields — but God was forming a king.
- The disciples waited in the upper room — but God was setting the stage for Pentecost.
- In every story, God was moving long before His people could see it.
And the same is true for you.
- You may not see movement, but He is moving.
- You may not see progress, but He is preparing.
- You may not see the next step, but He is already there — strengthening you for it.
This is where the message contained in the song, “His Strength Is Perfect” meets us so beautifully.
When your strength feels small, stretched, or gone altogether, His strength doesn’t just replace yours, it completes it.
- It fills the gaps you can’t fill.
- It carries what you can’t carry.
- It sustains you in the waiting, not after it.
So if you’re in a waiting season right now, don’t assume God is distant.
Often the quietest seasons are the ones where He is working the most deeply and tenderly.
Trust this: Your waiting is not empty — and His strength is enough for every moment of it.
Tonight we share this truth through the music of “His Strength Is Perfect.” played here by Oshawa Temple Band.
May it encourage you wherever you are on the journey.
