Wait, the Verb

The past couple of months has been a lot of decisions and seeking in direction- ministry opportunities, uganda, work, school, relationships with people, life, etc. As a result, I've been thinking through what it means to wait on the Lord. Waiting is not like Sadness from Inside Out, being dragged along through life, in a slump of idleness. Rather, waiting is an active and deeply engaged tension of dependent trust and stewardship.

"Does it make sense to pray for guidance about the future if we are not obeying in the thing that lies before us today? How many momentous events in Scripture depended on one person's seemingly small act of obedience! Rest assured: Do what God tells you to do now, and depend upon it, you will be shown what to do next."
