🙏 “CAN YOU GET COMFORTABLE WITH SOON?” — Dallas Jenkins’ Quiet Reminder About Waiting, Faith And God’s Timing

There is something difficult about the word “soon.”

It sounds hopeful, but it is not specific. It gives you a reason to keep waiting, but it does not give you a date. It tells you something is coming, but it does not always tell you when.

That is why Dallas Jenkins’ question feels so powerful: can you get comfortable with the mystery of “soon”?

For many people, the hardest part of faith is not believing that God can act. It is trusting His timing when the answer has not arrived yet. We want clarity. We want a schedule. We want confirmation that the waiting will end exactly when we hope it will.

But faith often asks us to live in the space between promise and fulfillment.

That space can be uncomfortable. It can test patience, expose fear, and bring up doubts we thought we had already overcome. When something matters deeply, “soon” can feel almost painful. Soon can mean hope. But it can also mean more waiting.

Yet this is where trust becomes real.

God’s timing is not limited by our urgency. He is not late simply because we feel ready. He sees what we cannot see. He knows what needs to be prepared, healed, moved, strengthened, or revealed before the next step arrives.

That does not make waiting easy. But it can make waiting meaningful.

The mystery of “soon” teaches us that faith is not only about receiving the answer. It is also about becoming steady before the answer comes. It is about learning to trust God in uncertainty, not only after everything becomes clear.

That is why this message connects so deeply. Everyone is waiting for something. A breakthrough. A healing. A door to open. A relationship to be restored. A season to change. A promise to finally make sense.

And in that waiting, the question remains:

Can we trust God even when “soon” does not come with a calendar?

Maybe the point is not to know the exact moment.

Maybe the point is to know the One who holds it.

So if you are in a waiting season today, do not lose heart. The delay does not mean God has forgotten. The silence does not mean nothing is happening.

Sometimes “soon” is not a date.

Sometimes it is an invitation to trust deeper.
