Waiting On The Lord

It is difficult for the average American to wait. We desire to be proactive. We say "I'll make something out of nothing." "Where there is a will, there is a way." "I'm a self-made man." You see what I mean? Whenever you start a personal command with "I" you can be sure God will not help you in your effort. The problem is we haven't learned how to wait. Our failure to wait creates a stumbling block for God. He cannot do His work while you're in the way. No matter how well intentioned you are, you are still in the way. The way we can best promote the will of God is to learn to wait for Him because all things come together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purposes.

Daily Prayer: Father, the reason we have difficulty waiting is our failure to trust You. Forgive us Father. Let us learn to depend on You for all of life's concerns, because apart from You, we can do nothing. Amen.
