The Kingdom Hearts franchise launched over twenty years ago, and as a major fan of this series since day one it has always felt like the wait for the next entry in the mainline series is PAINFULLY long. Sure, there have been some handheld spin-offs to keep us occupied between each chapter, but these just build our anticipation for the next major release in the story. While waiting for our bigger questions to be answered may feel unnecessary and frustrating, the delay has given time for the developers to gain access to entirely new worlds and characters that they can add to the franchise that weren’t previously available or even in existence when the first Kingdom Hearts was released. The wait may seem long, but it is both necessary and worth it.

When the answers to our prayers seem to be taking longer than we’d prefer, it’s important to keep in mind that the Lord’s will for our life doesn’t exist in a vacuum… there are multiple moving parts involving others who may not be in the position they need to be to join us on our journey yet. He isn’t delaying His answer just to see how patient we can be. He is putting together a larger solution to our problem than we can comprehend that answers more prayers than just our own. Let’s be patient in our waiting season knowing this “delay” is part of a bigger answer.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hurries toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay long. Habakkuk 2:3

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. Lamentations 3:25-26
