I Wait On You

God does things on his timetable. He always answers prayer. Much of the time the answer isn’t yes. Sometimes the answer is “not now,” or “not yet.” Sometimes the answer is silence, which means to stay with the last thing he told us to do, or whatever is clearly written in the Bible.

We have a hard time waiting today. All sorts of things at our fingertips respond instantly, information overloads us from computer screens, we can talk to anywhere in the world in seconds. Only thing we’re lacking so far is instant travel (teleportation, anyone?).

Sometimes we wait on God in the wrong way. We promise we’ll move into his direction for our lives, once he gives enough money to work with, or a spouse to marry, or children fully grown. Maybe what’s really going on is: He’s waiting on us to do first what we already know he wants us to do. Then he confirms it by blessing us. We want it the other way. Bless me first, then I can do what you want.
