Waiting

"Wait for the Lord" Psalm 27:14

Well that seems pretty direct doesn't it. I don't think there is any question what God is wanting us to do in this verse. I think that waiting on the Lord is one of the greatest tests of faith that we experience. The world around us is so fast paced and instantaneous. We are not used to waiting on things. Maybe it was easier to wait on the Lord a few hundred years ago when technology was nonexistent, but I doubt it. Human nature is impatient and often demanding. God uses times in our lives where we have to wait to make our faith stronger and teach us endurance.
One thing that I can say for sure is that the reward from God is so much greater when you have waited obediently and trusted in Him. Taking matters into our own hands and trying to speed up the process only messes things up!
