When you are waiting for the phone call

Lamentations 3:25-26

The Lord is good to those who seek Him and wait for Him.

When you are waiting for the phone call. The situation may be ordinary, but the story you attach to it can shape the whole day. The temptation is to solve the discomfort fast. But fast relief and faithful direction are not always the same thing. Waiting is not proof that God has forgotten you. Jesus Christ is present in the part of the story that has no visible movement yet. You do not have to solve your whole life before lunch. You do need to decide who gets the final word today.

What truth from Scripture needs to become louder than your first reaction today?

Jesus, interrupt whatever is automatic in me that does not look like Your truth. Give me a clear mind, a guarded heart, and the courage to do the next faithful thing. Amen.
