Don’t Settle for Second Best

Don’t Settle for Second Best

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.

Don’t Give Up in the Waiting

Good morning and welcome to Wake Up with Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly. Today we’re in James 1:3-4, and this episode is all about perseverance, patience, and trusting God when the answer is not showing up in your timing. The Bible says that the testing of your faith produces perseverance, and that perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly talk about how hard it is to wait. We are used to quick answers, instant solutions, and fast results. But faith is often built in the waiting. When the promise does not show up right away, that is where perseverance begins to grow. It is not giving up, not backing down, and not deciding that God has forgotten you. It is continuing to trust, continuing to believe, and continuing to stand. This message also highlights something really important. Maturity often happens when we stop chasing only what we want and start trusting what God wants. Sometimes what we thought was best is not actually His best. And in the waiting, with time, space, and perseverance, our hearts begin to change. We start to see more clearly, trust more deeply, and realize that God may have been leading us to something better all along. Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly use examples of continuing to pray, continuing to believe, and continuing to follow God even when the answer takes longer than expected. Perseverance is not quitting after three laps. It is keeping on until the walls come down. It is not just enduring for your own plan. It is persevering for God’s will, knowing that His plan is wiser, bigger, and better than anything we could force on our own. If you are in a waiting season right now, let this encourage you. Do not give up. Let perseverance finish its work. God is still faithful, and what He has for you is worth trusting Him for. Partner with us at wakeuptv.tv Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe.

Stay Planted and Let God Supply You

Good morning and welcome to Wake Up with Pastor Scot and Pastor Jason. Today we’re talking about contentment and the importance of being planted in the house of God. In Philippians 4, Paul says he learned to be content in every situation. Whether he had plenty or little, whether life was easy or difficult, he had discovered that true peace does not come from circumstances. It comes from Christ. Pastor Scot and Pastor Jason remind us that the church is the storehouse. It is the place where God gathers the supply you need for your life. Whether you need encouragement, wisdom, healing, strength for your marriage, direction for your family, or just your heart built back up, God’s house is where those things are poured out. Contentment is something we learn, and being planted in church is a huge part of that process. When you stay connected to God’s house, you keep receiving what you need to stay strong, steady, and full of peace. The church is not just a place you attend. It is a place where you are strengthened, equipped, and reminded of who God is in your life. This episode is a reminder that if you want a stronger life, a healthier mindset, and a more stable heart, stay planted. God’s house is one of the greatest gifts He gave us, and when you keep showing up, He keeps supplying exactly what you need. Partner with us at wakeuptv.tv Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe.

Don’t Stay on the Sidelines

Good morning and welcome to Wake Up with Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly. Today we’re in John 12:26, and this episode is all about serving Jesus, following His example, and how serving in God’s house opens the door to growth, blessing, and life-changing opportunities. Jesus says, “Whoever serves me must follow me,” and then He adds something powerful: “My Father will honor the one who serves me.” Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly talk about how serving Jesus is not about being perfect. It is about following Him, doing your best to live at a higher level, and letting your life reflect His example. We all have moments where we miss it, but that does not disqualify a heart that is sincerely trying to love, grow, and serve. This message also highlights how often special things happen when people serve in God’s house. Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly share how serving in church shaped their own lives, their family, and even key relationships. Serving became a training ground, a place of growth, a place where gifts were developed, and a place where some of the biggest blessings in life began to open up. Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly also point out how important church service is for the next generation. When children grow up serving, practicing, showing up, and being part of something bigger than themselves, it teaches responsibility, faithfulness, teamwork, and purpose. Church becomes more than a place they attend. It becomes a place where they contribute, grow, and discover the gifts God put in them. If God has placed a church home in your life, do not just watch from the sidelines. Serve. Get involved. Be part of building something eternal. You never know what doors God may open and what lives may be changed because you said yes. Partner with us at wakeuptv.tv Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe.

Get Planted and Start Serving

Good morning and welcome to Wake Up with Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly. Today we’re in Exodus 23:25, and this episode is all about serving in God’s house and how serving positions your life for blessing, growth, and impact. The Scripture says, “Worship the Lord your God, and His blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you.” That is such a powerful picture of what happens when we stay planted and involved in the things of God. Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly talk about how serving in church is not just about filling a spot. It is about being part of something eternal. God’s house is where lives are touched, people are saved, families are changed, and hearts are healed. When you serve, you are helping create the atmosphere where that can happen. And in the process, you are not just blessing others, you are being shaped too. This message also points out something really important about the culture we live in. Everything around us is self-serve, fast, and me-focused. It becomes easy to assume somebody else will handle it, somebody else will serve, somebody else will step up. But church was never meant to be only a place that serves you. It is also a place where you get to serve and become part of the solution. Pastor Scot and Pastor Holly also highlight the friendships and support that come through serving. When you get involved, you build relationships with people who can point you back to the Word, encourage you in your struggles, and help strengthen your faith. Serving does not just help build the church. It helps build you. If God has been nudging you to get involved, do not miss the opportunity. You may think it is a small part, but every role matters. Greeting, helping, teaching, serving, showing up, all of it helps touch lives and move God’s house forward. Partner with us at wakeuptv.tv Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe.
