I know very few people who enjoy waiting. We are an impatient people. A split-second is the time that elapses between the traffic light turning green and the vehicle behind you honking. We fidget at the microwave oven and get anxious at the revolving door. But God is not in a hurry. In \u201cKnowing God\u201d J.I. Packer writes, \u201cIt is not his way to give more light on the future than we need for action in the present, or to guide us more than one step at a time. When in doubt, do nothing, but continue to wait on God. When action is needed, light will come.\u201d The Bible is clear that while the time is sometimes right for action, there is also a time to wait. Both the Psalmist and the prophet repeatedly said to \u201cWait on the Lord\u201d (Ps. 27:14; 37:9; 37:24; Isa. 8:17; 40:31). But why, we impatiently ask. Why can\u2019t the Lord work on our schedule? Why must we wait on the Lord? The writer of Lamentations says it succinctly, \u201cThe Lord is good to those who wait for Him\u201d (Lamentations 3:25). So practice waiting this week, and allow the Lord to be good to you.<\/p>\n
