Where a person aims their expectancy decides which channel they are able to receive anything through.
Waiting has a direction. Expectancy held on God keeps a person positioned to receive from him, while expectancy scattered across every possible source turns into scanning, and scanners grab the first thing offered rather than the thing they were waiting for.
Due season is the hard clause, because it concedes a gap between the looking and the giving, and the gap is precisely where attention breaks and goes hunting. What holds it is certainty about the source, and certainty gets built from whatever a person keeps in frame while the wait runs: a record of seasons that came, or a record of the times nothing did. Panic inside that gap is what makes a man trade a harvest for one day of relief.

Live Psalms 145:15 today
- Before you open anything on your phone today, say what you are actually waiting on and who you are waiting on for it. One line. It keeps the looking pointed in one direction for the rest of the day.
- Tell someone about a time God came through for you, with the details, the dates, the way it actually happened. Saying it to a person is how you build the certainty you will need in the next gap.
- When the panic shows up and you want to take any deal just to end the waiting, hold off one more day. Make the tea, do the dishes, go to bed. The season is not late just because you are tired of it.
When the waiting gets long, where do your eyes go first, and what have you been willing to trade just to stop feeling the gap?

Tao Te Ching 8
Water does not scramble for position, it goes low and waits, and everything comes to it. The scramble is what empties a life, not the waiting.
Sufism · Rumi
Rumi says the ache you feel is the pull of the one you came from. Aim that ache at a hundred doors and it turns into restlessness; aim it at one and it turns into arrival.
Stoicism · Marcus Aurelius
The season brings its own fruit, and the wise man wants what the season brings. Demanding the harvest early is how you end up trading it for a snack.
