DAY 5 — Growth You Can’t See Yet

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways.”

— Isaiah 55:8 (CSB)

One of the most difficult parts of pruning is waiting without clarity. We want answers. We want reassurance. We want to know what’s coming next.

But pruning works beneath the surface long before fruit appears. Roots deepen before branches flourish. Strength forms before beauty shows.

Just because you cannot see growth does not mean nothing is happening. God often does His most important work in the unseen places—shaping character, strengthening faith, refining trust.

This season is not empty.

It is active.

It is intentional.

It is purposeful.

Trust the unseen work of the Gardener.

Prayer

Father, help me trust You when I cannot yet see the fruit of this season.

Remain Practice

Thank God today—by faith—for growth that has not yet appeared.
