Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

The Slow CookerJames 1:4
No. 39
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.James 1:4

We live in a microwave culture, but God often works in a slow cooker. Patience is not passive waiting — it is active trust in God's timing. The seasons of waiting are where character is forged and faith is deepened. What God is doing in you during the wait is just as important as what you are waiting for.

Reflect

What are you waiting for right now? How might God be forming you in the process?

Prayer

Lord, teach me to wait on Your timing. Help me trust that You are working even when I cannot see it. Develop patience and endurance in me. Amen.
