Glow-Up Devotional Day 18

God Isn’t Slow — He’s Strategic

Scripture:“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you…” — 2 Peter 3:9 (NIV)

The Glow-Up Message :

Let’s be honest:
This “wait on God” thing be feeling like FOREVERRR sometimes.

You prayed.
You obeyed.
You sacrificed.
You’ve cried real tears while scrolling past highlight reels.

And still… silence.

But here’s the truth:
God isn’t slow — He’s strategic.

There are things you’ve asked for that require a version of you He’s still building.
He’s not punishing you — He’s preparing you.
If He released the promise too soon, it would crush you.

You keep asking “when?”
But God is asking “will you still trust Me while I build what you can’t see?”

Because it’s coming.
That opportunity.
That breakthrough.
That soft life testimony.

But it’s coming correct.
And when it shows up, you’ll be so glad He didn’t give it to the tired, doubtful, insecure version of you.

He waited for the healed, faith-filled, glowed-up version.
And baby… that version? Is rising.

The Glow-Up Assignment :

💌 Write a letter to God that starts with this:
“Even though it hasn’t happened yet, I still trust You because…”
Let Him remind you that delayed ≠ denied.

Reflection Question:

Where have you confused God's pace with His absence?

Prayer of the Day:

God, thank You for moving in perfect timing — even when it doesn’t match my own.
I trust You when it’s fast. I trust You when it’s slow.
Because either way… it’s working.
Help me to stop watching the clock and start watching You.
I believe You’re not withholding the promise — You’re protecting the purpose.
Let Your will be done, even if it takes longer than I planned.
Amen.
