Perspective
God never prepares His people by accident. Every season is training for your next assignment.Today is While You Wait Wednesday. God never wastes a season of waiting. Often, He uses it to prepare us for the people we’re called to impact. Being sent isn’t only about where you go. It’s about who you become along the way. As you watch today’s While You Wait Wednesday, remember that every season is preparation for the next assignment. God is developing your character, strengthening your faith, and positioning you to bring hope wherever He sends you. Your testimony may become someone else’s turning point because God always prepares the messenger before He sends the message.
Watch While You Wait Wednesday
Take a few quiet moments to watch today’s teaching with Dr. Lael. Keep your Companion Journal nearby so you can record what God brings to your attention.
Scripture
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
Mark 16:15 (NIV)
Prayer
Father, Thank You for preparing me even while I wait. Help me trust Your timing and remain faithful in every season. Use my story to bring hope, encouragement, and truth to those around me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Reflection Question
What is one truth from today’s teaching that is helping you see your waiting season as preparation for God’s next assignment?
Write your response in this week’s Companion Journal. The Wednesday page also gives you space to record your biggest takeaway, one quote from Dr. Lael, and one thing God showed you.
