Season 5 Timing: Suspended Development

Delay does not mean denial. Take a queue from the Trees and the Bear Family!

In this episode of Vision in the Valley, the core discussion revolves around the concept of diapause—a period of suspended development in animals, particularly focusing on bears and their hibernation. This biological phenomenon is used as a metaphor for spiritual growth and waiting for God's timing. I draw parallels to the dormancy of trees and the story of Jonah to illustrate how periods of pause can lead to greater success and fulfillment of God's promises. The episode underscores the importance of patience, trust in divine timing, and continuous praise, even during life's dormant phases.
