Who will I listen to?

Last Thursday afternoon my husband called and told me he'd just received an email from our Realtor. He told us that the Texas Attorney General had put a moratorium (I never even knew this word before last Thursday!) on the sale of foreclosures. Since the home we want to buy is a foreclosure property, our closing (that was scheduled for Monday) was now on hold.


This came as quite a surprise to us to say the least, and admittedly it was disappointing that we wouldn't be closing on Monday.


I had found someone giving away moving boxes on Freecycle so Thursday afternoon we were going to pick them up (and they were boxes in great shape too, tons of them, such a blessing to get at this time). As I was driving I caught Casting Crown's song "Voice of Truth" on KLOVE. This line really stuck out to me that day....

The voice of truth says, 'Do not be afraid!'
The voice of truth says,
'This is for My glory'
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

I know I have a choice of how to respond to this situation. I can easily be upset that it didn't go as we had planned, and now we are uncertain when we will get to close. Reading the news articles about this foreclosure mess can leave me with unsettled feelings of "what's going to happen to us and our house." I could be scared and afraid of the unknown. But my choice is to listen to Truth. We don't know what is going to happen. We don't know how long we are going to have to wait. But we trust God and His timing. We can't see how this is going to come together, but we know He can. We trust that there is a reason for this delay.

I am glad for the reminder from this song that we need to listen to the Voice of Truth. I have prayed through this entire situation that whatever happened it would be obvious that God did it and it was nothing we could have done. We continue to give Him the glory.


Have a day of blessings!
