I came across this song, “Better Yet” by Leanna Crawford as I was finishing up my work day and it really struck me. It was a powerful reminder to anyone who has been waiting. Waiting for a spouse. Waiting for a child. Waiting for something promised to come to fruition.

It is a hard place to be.

I have been there. I am there too. But what I know with more certainty than anything else, is I serve a faithful God. I have seen the faithfulness of God come through over and over. I know I can trust Him and believe that when He says it, it will happen.

Trying to sum up God’s faithfulness and trustworthiness, I went to this passage from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:

“Therefore I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Consider the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they? ²⁷ Can any of you add one moment to his life span by worrying? ²⁸ And why do you worry about clothes? Observe how the wildflowers of the field grow: They don’t labor or spin thread. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these. ³⁰ If that’s how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won’t he do much more for you—you of little faith? ³¹ So don’t worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ ³² For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. ³⁴ Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:25-34

The passage is about anxiety and worry. That we can become concerned about our life, what we will eat, what we will wear, where we will live, and a myriad of other things. But when we first put our faith in Him, our trust in His provision, then we can release all worry and anxiety, because a good, caring, loving, faithful God is in the taking care of all our needs.

“Better Yet” Lyrics by Leanna Crawford:

You said it’s so hard sleeping through night
And you’ve been trying to hide your tired eyes
I remember what that feels like

When your thoughts become a prison cell
But telling everyone you’re doing well
I remember what that feels like

You’ve been asking why God why
Do you always gotta take your time?

I know that it’s not better yet
I know you’re freaking out
I know you think if you were Him
You’d of rescued you by now
I know the last thing you wanna hear is keep waiting patiently
I know that it’s not better yet
But one day it’s gonna be

So pray with everything you’ve got
He’s a never gonna leave you God
I can promise you that
He’s not done with you friend

I know that it’s not better yet
I know you’re freaking out
I know you think if you were Him
You’d of rescued you by now
I know the last thing you wanna hear is keep waiting patiently
I know that it’s not better yet
But one day it’s gonna be
Yeah
One day it’s gonna be

I know that it’s not better yet
I know you’re freaking out
I know you think if you were Him
You’d of rescued you by now
I know the last thing you wanna hear is keep waiting patiently
I know that it’s not better yet
I know that it’s not better yet
But one day it’s gonna be
Yeah
One day it’s gonna be
