In this powerful sermon, Pastor Steven Furtick unpacks the profound truth that God is actively at work in the unseen moments of our lives, shaping and positioning us even when we don't perceive immediate returns. Drawing heavily from the story of Samuel's call in 1 Samuel 3 and Hannah's persistent prayer in 1 Samuel 1, Furtick challenges listeners to embrace the 'not yet' seasons, emphasizing that the efforts made when no one is watching are precisely what God uses for our spiritual formation and future purpose. He encourages believers to minister faithfully in their current circumstances, avoid cutting corners, and persevere in faith, reminding them of Galatians 6:9: 'Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.' This message offers practical guidance for those navigating periods of uncertainty and waiting, urging them to worship while they wait and trust in God's perfect timing and preparation.
