​“Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for him to act.” Psalm 37:7 NLT
 
There’s a standing joke on a film set: “Hurry up and wait.” Whether you’re crew or cast, every minute is money and it’s important to be on time, in position and ready – while realizing that call times can be pushed or delayed because of the unforeseen or unexpected: rain that forces a company move or the star talent that’s having a meltdown in their trailer. A zillion things can happen before the cameras roll but you’ve got to be in place and ready when they do.
 
Whether we like it or not, the saying often applies to our lives of faith.
