The Miracle in the Delay - Charismatic (Romans 8:28)

Source: Testimony88 words

A woman prayed desperately for a job she wanted. The door kept closing. She was devastated—until a better opportunity appeared months later, one she wouldn't have found if she'd gotten the first job. "God wasn't saying no," she realized. "He was saying wait." Romans 8:28 operates in divine timing. The charismatic tradition emphasizes: God is actively working, even when we can't see it. The "no" might be protection; the delay might be positioning. Faith declares: God is up to something good. Trust His timing; He's working ALL things.
