We have become a society that does not enjoy waiting. We want instant gratification in every area of our lives. The Lord wants us to enjoy the abundant life He intended for us. But the key is we have to wait on Him. We tend to rush through life without stopping to really evaluate our activities. Sometimes in our haste to achieve our goals, we race ahead of God. If we find ourselves taking the lead, we need to stop and re-think our position. We are in charge of nothing...He leads, we follow. Part of God's teaching and restorative process is to slow us down and make us listen to Him. When we slow down and seek His will, He will reveal His plans for us. However, waiting requires us to cease our own pursuits and give God our complete attention. And as we wait on Him, God will remind us of our utter dependence upon Him and His strength. Be patient.....
Psalm 40:1
I waited patiently on the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry.
