Episode 146: Treat Waiting as Worship


Listen Later

Today, we attack a word this world hates: waiting. That’s right. The world scoffs at patience. It rolls its eyes at delayed answers. But every spiritual giant—Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, even Jesus—had to wait. Seasons. Years. Decades. Refined, not wasted.

Here at C-Suite for Christ, we say it bold: Waiting is not weakness—it’s worship. Waiting is not lost time—it’s God’s sanctifying grind. In a culture screaming “Now!” we plant our feet and declare, “Not my will, but Yours, Lord.”

The world may mock, ridicule, and tempt you to take shortcuts. But in the furnace of waiting, God forges warriors—not spiritual tourists.

Your moment will come. Will you worship while you wait? Will you trust God’s process?

"But those who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint" – Isaiah 40:31

Episode Highlights:

04:16 - But here's the controversial truth the church doesn't want to preach. An impatient Christian is a powerless Christian. If you can't wait on God, you can't trust God. And if you can't trust God, you are worshiping yourself, not Him. Let's take this a step further, shall we? This cultural obsession with now has given rise to shallow faith. Christians hop from church to church because they didn't get the spiritual high they wanted immediately. Marriages collapse because spouses won't wait for growth, healing or maturity. People walk away from God because He didn't answer their prayer on their timeline. But here's the huge, massive problem with that mindset. God doesn't run on your clock. You run on his.

13:57 - Notice what it does not say. It doesn't say those who hustle harder or those who demand instant answers will renew their strength. It says those who wait. That is worship. Because waiting requires faith. And Hebrews 11:6 tells us without faith it is impossible to please God. So if waiting requires faith and faith pleases God, then waiting pleases God. You follow that? In other words, waiting is worship.

27:14 - A blessing received too soon becomes a curse. Money before maturity leads to greed and destruction. Power before humility leads to pride and downfall. Marriage before readiness leads to broken homes. Influence before character leads to scandal. God knows this. That’s why he makes us wait. But when we skip the wait, we’re just asking for disaster.
