Waiting on God – What to Do When God Does Nothing

Author and Insight for Living executive vice president uses the life of Joseph to explore the silence and confusion that occur when God seems absent, revealing that waiting on God isn't passive but a very active part of the Christian life.

We have all experienced a disconnect between God''s promises to us and our everyday reality. We wait, without understanding why. We want to know God''s plan so that we can trust it--but God so often hides his plan so that we will trust him. What can we do in the meantime as we are waiting for an answer, a change, or a miracle?

With deep compassion, Wayne Stiles helps readers understand why God makes them wait. Unpacking the Old Testament story of Joseph, Stiles shows readers how to find comfort and opportunity in the time between God''s promises and his answers, revealing the perspective-altering truth that sometimes when we think we are waiting on God, he is actually waiting on us.

Anyone who has felt a disconnect between God''s promises and their reality, who doesn''t know what God wants them to do next, or who struggles with the brokenness of their world will find in Wayne Stiles a wise and trustworthy guide to finding peace in the pauses.
