It’s so easy to eventually discount something we’ve been waiting to behold within our lives…

…to be discouraged,

to lose hope after some time passes.

Whenever that answer to prayer,

that hope,

that promise…

seems to become less and less relevant,

…less and less likely.

We wait,

and we wait…

without seeing anything unfold.

“Dormancy“

—It seems like just a waste of time doesn’t it?

But it’s no waste of time to God.

He does a great deal during a time of “dormancy”…

In a seed, a season of “dormancy”— a resting period, a time of slowing down drastically—eventually leads to a season of new growth.

Maturation.

We can trust Him just as much in seasons of “dormancy” as we can in seasons of blossoming and blooming.

As children of God, He’s always doing a work in us. 🌱🌷

"And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns."—Philippians 1:6 NLT

He knows what we need, and exactly when we need it in order to grow, and to thrive in this life with Him.

Did you know that it’s dangerous to a plant if it breaks its time of “dormancy” too soon?

Song of Solomon 2:10-12 ESV

¹⁰ My beloved speaks and says to me:
“Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
    and come away,
¹¹ for behold, the winter is past;
    the rain is over and gone.
¹² The flowers appear on the earth,
    the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
    is heard in our land.
