Exodus 3:7 makes God’s heart unmistakable: He heard the cries of His people, He knew their suffering, and He was already moving toward deliverance—even when the days turned into years and hope started to wobble.
In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef speaks to anyone standing at the crossroads of hope and doubt. God’s timing can feel slow, but it is never careless. He will not be late—He will be right on time. Like David, we learn to wait with courage and confidence: “I will see the goodness of the LORD… Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart” (Psalm 27:13–14).
You’ll also see how God used Moses’ “set-aside” season. After trying to force the outcome in his own strength, Moses was drawn into the wilderness for decades—not as punishment, but as preparation. God was quieting his pride, tempering his impulses, and shaping him into a leader who would trust and obey.
If you feel shelved, stalled, or forgotten, this devotional offers a steady perspective: God wastes nothing. Keep your obedience sincere, your surrender unconditional, and your hope anchored in His promises.
Prayer: God, I come to You in a difficult place. I pray that Your will would be accomplished in this season of my life. Help me to trust You and wait on You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
“But while Joseph was there in the prison, the Lord was with him, . . .” (Genesis 39:20-21).
