- “What If You’re Not Behind—Just Being Built?”
In partnership with
Being built one brick at a time…
Feeling Behind? Here’s the Truth.
Let’s be real — it’s easy to look around and feel like you’re running late in life.
You see people getting promoted, buying homes, building picture-perfect families… and you start wondering, “Did I miss my moment?”
That quiet voice creeps in:
“You’re behind.”
“You should’ve made it by now.”
“You’re not where you’re supposed to be.”
But here’s what I want to say loud and clear: You’re not behind — you’re being built.
You’re not on your buddy’s timeline.
You’re not on Instagram’s timeline.
You’re on God’s timeline.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”
God’s Timeline > Your Timeline
That means God’s timing is never random — and it’s never wrong.
Some doors haven’t opened yet not because you’re disqualified, but because He’s still preparing you.
He’s shaping your character, your capacity, and your heart.
Even Abraham Lincoln didn’t become president until 52.
Before that? He lost eight elections, failed in business, and battled depression.
But those years weren’t wasted — they were training.
Stop the Rush. Start the Trust.
When we try to rush God’s process, we end up exhausted and empty.
Peace doesn’t come from catching up — it comes from letting go.
Ask Yourself:
Where have I been measuring myself by others?
What area of my life feels most “behind”?
What might God be building in me right now?
Call to Action:
Write down one area where you feel behind. Surrender it in prayer and ask, “God, help me trust Your timing and walk at Your pace.”
