What Removes Dead Things? Finding Life While You Wait

Welcome to While You Wait Wednesday, where we discover hope and transformation during life's waiting seasons. Today's episode explores a powerful analogy about what removes dead things from our lives to create abundant life. Host Rev. Dr. Lael C. Melville shares a profound revelation from an unexpected Segway tour experience.

 

So here's what I want you to consider today: What dead things might Jesus be wanting to remove from your life while you wait?

Maybe it's:

• Dead expectations that are causing you anxiety
• Dead timelines that are creating pressure
• Dead comparisons that are stealing your joy
• Dead fears that are limiting your faith

Just like those fish in that beautiful mountain water, Jesus' work in your life during waiting seasons isn't punishment - it's restoration. It's preparation. It's making space for the abundant life He has planned for you.

I want to encourage you this week to pay attention to what God might be removing from your life. Don't resist the process. Trust that He's creating space for something beautiful, something alive, something abundant.

Let's pray together:

"Jesus, thank You that You came to give us abundant life. While we wait for what You have next for us, help us trust Your process of removing what's dead and creating space for what's alive. Give us patience with Your timing and faith in Your goodness. Amen."

Thank you for joining me for While You Wait Wednesday. Remember, your waiting season isn't wasted time - it's sacred space where God is actively working for your good.
