Psalm 37:7
"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes."
With just one day left of vacation, I spent my last day watching the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. Listening to a variety of songs. Specifically songs by Koryn Hawthorne. As I came to grasp what had transpired, her song "Won't He do it" and "Look at God" played continuously. "He's making a way...every day" and "Ain't no need for stressing or crying, because He go show up like He did the last time... Won't He do it"!

Some of the greatest blessings are when things don't work out the way we wanted them to. What is the redirection God has for you when things go different. Change that perspective and perception that when things don't go how you want them to that there is both a lesson and a blessing behind it. So what to do when waiting on Him to reveal what He had been working on.
Patience is defined in the dictionary as "an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay." From the Christian perspective, patience is a virtue that is considered a fruit of the spirit. That fruit only grows under trial. It is the ability to remain calm and keep going despite the temptation to give up or become frustrated. Patience isn't just about waiting; it's about trusting that God is working behind the scenes preparing something amazing.

I went to the NBA combine and got to interact with all the NBA athletic trainers in Chicago. It was nice to feel the support from my colleagues and to be reassured things would work out. I then went back home to Indy to take advantage of time I normally would not have at that time of year. I was able to spend time with family and friends and enjoy things in my hometown. I say all that to say that I did not panic nor fret that I did not have a job. I did not start making rash decisions because I had faith that everything was working itself out. Worrying is like worshiping your problems. Why worry and give power to something, when God Himself has the Ultimate power. As I set here on June 12th, 2024 with no job, no inclination of where I will be next, I have both the patience and faith that what is being done behind the scenes is bigger, greater, exceedingly, abundantly, above all that I could ask for. I believe every word He says. I receive all His promises. I won't be moved by what I see in the natural. I know He's working it out in the super natural.
He's bigger than it all!
