Good morning and welcome to Wake Up with Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly.

Today we’re in Habakkuk 3:17-18, and this episode is all about choosing joy even when life does not look the way you want it to. The Scripture says that even if the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, “yet I will rejoice in the Lord.” That is such a powerful picture of a joy that is not tied to perfect circumstances.

Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly talk about how easy it is to make happiness dependent on what is going right. If things are budding, if the job is working, if the relationships feel good, if the money is there, then we feel happy. But real joy goes deeper than that. Biblical joy is rooted in the goodness of God, not in whether everything around you is currently working out.

This message is also a reminder that feelings are not facts. You may feel disappointed, left out, overlooked, or frustrated, but the truth remains that God is still good all the time. When you anchor your heart in His goodness instead of in your changing emotions, you begin to move through hard seasons differently. Joy becomes strength. Peace becomes stability. Contentment becomes possible.

Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly also point out that when you live loved and stay rooted in God’s goodness, the hard things do not stick to you as long. People may fail you. Situations may not go your way. But when your joy is in the Lord, you recover faster, forgive quicker, and keep moving forward without letting every disappointment define your day.

If you are in a season where things are not budding the way you hoped, let this encourage you. You can still rejoice. You can still choose joy. You can still anchor yourself in the goodness of God. And that joy will give you strength for whatever is in front of you.

Good morning and welcome to Wake Up with Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly.

Today we’re in Lamentations 3:25-26, and this episode is all about waiting on God, trusting His timing, and believing that His best is worth waiting for. Scripture says, “The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” That is such a powerful reminder in a world that wants everything right now.

Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly talk about how hard waiting can be. We are used to fast answers, fast food, fast shipping, and immediate results. But God often works differently. Waiting is not punishment. Waiting is often where trust grows, where maturity develops, and where we learn not to settle for second best just because it is available now.

This message also highlights that there is a difference between passively doing nothing and actively waiting on God. Waiting on Him means seeking Him, listening for His direction, staying open to His best, and not letting your own wants get louder than His wisdom. Sometimes we miss God’s best because we move too quickly. Other times people miss it because they never move at all. The balance is faith-filled waiting, where you keep seeking, keep trusting, and keep following His lead.

Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly also point out that sometimes what you thought you wanted is not actually what you would want later. In the waiting, God may be protecting you from second best and preparing you for something better than you even knew to ask for. That is why quiet trust matters so much. When you slow down enough to hear Him, you position yourself to receive what He really has for you.

If you are in a waiting season right now, let this encourage you. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him. You are not forgotten. You are not delayed by accident. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting His timing, and keep believing that His best is still ahead.
