When God is quiet and the deadline is loud

Psalm 27:14

Wait for the Lord with courage and a strengthened heart.

When God is quiet and the deadline is loud. There is usually more happening here than the obvious problem. There is a difference between acknowledging reality and surrendering your identity to it. One is wisdom. The other is captivity. 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. Bring the real problem to Jesus Christ, not the polished version. He already knows what is underneath.

What story are you attaching to this situation that Jesus Christ never said about you?

Lord Jesus Christ, I bring You the part I can explain and the part I cannot. Keep me from reacting out of fear, shame, pride, or loneliness. Teach me to move with You. Amen.
