Providence: The Discipline of the Pause

We live in a world that hates the pause button. If a webpage takes three seconds to load, we get frustrated. If a text isn't answered immediately, we panic. And what is crazy, is that we often bring this same hurry into our relationship with God. When we are praying for an answer, maybe for a spouse, a job, or a breakthrough, and we see something that looks even remotely like a "yes," we tend to just barge through the door, assume it's from God, and rush in without thinking. But is the first open door always the right one? Today, we are going to learn a spiritual discipline that might save you a lot of heartache: the discipline of the pause.
