While the Answer Hasn't Come Yet

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”

Psalm 27:14

You've already sent the message, already made the request, already turned in the résumé, already waited for the call — and now all that's left is to wait. That silent waiting, with no set date to end, has a way of wearing down your patience and feeding a thousand scenarios in your head.

My son, my daughter, waiting on me is not the same as waiting into the void. When you wait on the Lord, there is someone on the other side of the silence, working on details you cannot yet see. The time of waiting is not wasted time — it is time in which I am also moving.

Take courage while the answer hasn't come. Be strengthened, not because the wait grew shorter, but because I promised to be with you through all of it. The answer will arrive at the right time, and until then, I sustain your waiting. The right answer arrives at the right time, and until then, I sustain you through every day of your waiting.
