Psa
106:13 - But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his
counsel.
We see waiting as weakness or failure, when God sees it as unfaithfulness.
These days, people are deciding for themselves more than ever instead of waiting on God. Many push their agendas on relationships, getting married instead of waiting on God. Others have taken the housing bull by the horns and pushed their agenda on God instead of waiting on Him. Still more have made purchases, changed jobs, left marriages, and made decisions that violate Scriptural principles all because they didn't want to wait. We have treated life as a "limited time sale" and jumped the gun on God.
Waiting is not weakness, it's faith. By waiting we let God continue to reign in our situation instead of taking the reigns ourselves. Waiting is more courageous than pursuing.
In the Psalm, we are reminded of how the people didn't want to wait on God and eventually spent 40 years in the desert while the generation died off. Impatience on God for a days lead to a force waiting for 40 years.
I dare say that our culture is doing the same thing...hurrying to satisfy our cravings is creating a forced waiting period for a generation. Sadly, the cravings are more important than the God who can satisfy them. So we too are headed to the desert.
Learn how to wait before the desert makes you learn. Waiting is shorter than traveling the desert. In fact, waiting IS Faith.
