A setback in God’s hands is just a longer route to the same promise.

Being rerouted is not the same as being stopped. When something falls through, the first thought is that the whole thing is off, that the plan died along with the version you could see. What changed is the road, not where it ends, and God is not embarrassed by a delay He already accounted for. Slow and cancelled are different words.

When the no arrives, wait before you rewrite your entire future. Ask what is still true about where you were headed. Then take the next honest step available, even if it looks nothing like the step you expected.
