Am I Settling For Less Than God's Best?

Most of us don’t plan on settling for less than God’s best. But when something takes longer than we expected—a relationship, an opportunity, a door opening—it’s easy to start wondering if we should just make something happen ourselves. Waiting can be so uncomfortable. And sometimes, doing something feels better than trusting the Lord and taking our hands off the situation. We lay our requests at the cross but then seem to be so quick to pick them back up again. In Genesis chapter 24, Abraham’s servant is sent on a clear mission. He prepares, he travels, he prays, and he asks God for specific direction. And while he’s actively serving, God answers in a way that leaves no doubt about His hand in it. Today on No Greater Love, Pastor Jeff helps us see why rushing ahead of God—or settling for less than His best—can create unnecessary pain, and how faithful waiting, even when it stretches us, leads to something far better.
