“I’ll Trust You, Lord” – Just Like Abraham (Part 2)

Shaqueena Danvers

"Wait On You" - Elevation Worship & Maverick City

You know… waiting on God sounds easy until you’re actually the one waiting...

Waiting for answers.
Waiting for healing.
Waiting for direction.
Waiting for life to make sense.
Waiting for that break you’ve been praying for.

And while you’re waiting, everything around you feels so loud: your fears, your doubts, your insecurities.
That’s why this song hits so deep, especially the part that says:

“God, if You said it, You’ll perform it.
May not be how I want You to…
But here’s what I’ll do...
I’m gonna wait on You.”

That feels like my life sometimes.

Because waiting is not passive.
Waiting is not weak.
Waiting is not doing nothing.

Waiting is trusting that God is moving, even when you can’t see anything happening.

And honestly?
That’s exactly the kind of trust Abraham had to walk in.

God told him,
“Leave everything familiar… and go to a land I will show you.”
Not a land He explained.
Not a land He described.
Just… “I will show you.”

Imagine that level of uncertainty.

Abraham had to pack up his whole life based on a promise he couldn’t see yet.
He had to move forward with no answers, just trust.
And that’s where many of us are right now.

And I’ve been there too.

There were things I wanted so badly…
doors I prayed would open…
situations I thought would go differently…
and God still whispered,
“Wait. Trust Me.”

There were things I had to lay down... plans, timelines, expectations, even people.
There were moments when I didn’t understand what God was doing, when everything felt delayed… or denied.

And let me be honest:
Letting go felt like losing.
Starting over felt scary.
Walking forward felt blind.

But the song says,
“I know You’ve ordered every step… You hold the future… and all the questions come second to the One I know is true.”

And that’s the part that gives me hope.

Abraham didn’t have proof.
He didn’t have signs or guarantees.
He just had a word from God and a heart that said, “If You said it… I’ll walk.”

And that’s where many of us are.
We’re walking into futures we didn’t plan.
We’re dealing with unanswered questions.
We’re carrying moments nobody else knows about.
And still God says…
“I’m already in the place you’re afraid to go.”

Abraham had no idea that on the other side of his fear was a promise so big it would outlive him.
He just kept moving.
Step by step.
Tear by tear.
One brave YES at a time.

So maybe you’re like me…
Still processing what you had to leave behind.
Still learning how to breathe again after disappointment.
Still trying to trust God with a future that feels uncertain and unfinished.

But hear this:
God never lets faith go unrewarded.
The same God who guided Abraham’s footsteps is guiding yours.
Even when you don’t feel it.
Even when you don’t see it.
Even when all you have is one prayer left.

This season may not look like what you expected,
but it will become something God uses.
Something God blesses.
Something God builds on.

Your “unknown place” is not empty.
God is already there preparing, shaping, opening, aligning.
And one day you’ll look back and realize…
Maybe the delay wasn't denial, it was development.
Maybe the pause wasn't punishment, it was preparation.
Maybe waiting was not you being forgotten, it was God getting you ready.

Just like Abraham, your obedience today is making room for a promise tomorrow.

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
