Wait

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes,wait for the LORD.

Wait. That is a word most of us do not like. Many of us are impatient and can not stand to wait. Here is a test to see if you are that person. When you approach an elevator do you push the button more that once thinking that will make it come faster? There are times that it is good to wait. For example, read the sign to the left. If we do not wait for the right time to cross we may be seriously injured by stepping out too soon. In our spiritual lives we pray and if we do not get answer in a reasonable length of time (say 5 minutes or so) we just press ahead. The Bible says we should Wait for the Lord. Do not try to get ahead of God's plans for you. That is usually where we get ourselves in trouble. Please note that this is not a license to do nothing. Once we have heard from God we need to move ahead with all the passion and strength we have to follow God's Will.
