Wait and See

Humility transforms our mind-set from “what about me?” to “what about others?”

Do what you know to prepare for what you don’t know.

Misconception #5: If I am waiting, I must not be working hard enough.

Misconception #4: If I am waiting, I must not have enough faith.

Misconception #3: If I am waiting, I must not be praying enough.

Misconception #2: If I am waiting, I must desire something not in God’s will for my life.

Misconception #1: If I am waiting, I must not have heard God correctly.

“If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who ‘worry their prayers’ are like wind-whipped waves. Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open”

Waiting for God is not going to sleep. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under His command. Second, it means readiness for any new command that may come: we pray for His direction. Third, waiting involves the ability to do nothing until the command is given.
