“He sends out His command to the earth;
Psalm 147:15 NKJV
His word runs very swiftly.”
There are moments when God gives a word, and it feels like it is taking forever. He promised something years ago, and you are still waiting. You have been believing Him for healing for months, maybe years, and you have not seen it yet. And when you read a scripture that says His word runs swiftly, you start to wonder where the swiftness is.
The truth is that the moment God speaks, His word begins to work immediately. There is no delay with Him. The Bible tells us that God is not slow as men count slowness. But everything has a time. Some processes must take place for His word to fully come to pass.
Acceleration
Sometimes God allows instantaneous miracles that bypass process. But He does not always work that way. Many times, He is more interested in what He is building inside of you than how fast you get the result. He builds the virtues, the discipline, the maturity, and the capacity required to sustain what He is about to release.
And when that work is complete, it can look like acceleration. Suddenly, in one year, you accomplish what should have taken ten. Someone who was quiet and unseen steps into visibility. A work that looked delayed suddenly explodes into growth. It looks like it happened overnight, but it did not. The timeline finally came together.
As believers, we believe before we see. We know that when God speaks, movement begins. Even when we cannot see it, His word is working. It is not early. It is not late. It is moving at the exact pace He has declared. And that pace, for us, is swift.
Prayer
Lord, I thank You because when You speak, Your word begins to move immediately. Help me to trust Your process and not interpret waiting as delay. I do not want Your word to come before its time, and I do not want it to come after its time. I trust that the pace You have set is perfect and that Your word is working even now. I receive grace to believe before I see. In Jesus’ name, amen.
