Stuck in Between
Bible Stories for When You're Stuck Waiting
The waiting season is its own kind of hard: not a crisis you can fight, just a hallway with no doors opening. The Bible spends a shocking amount of time here. Joseph sits in prison for years after doing everything right. Hannah waits through birthday after birthday. David gets anointed king and then goes back to watching sheep.
Scripture never rushes past the middle part, so these stories don't either. If you're between the promise and the thing itself, start here. Each one is about three minutes, in plain words, with audio.
