It’s much easier to just plow ahead and make something happen, get something done, move something forward, or force the next step.
Waiting feels uncomfortable. Waiting feels passive. Waiting feels inefficient. Waiting feels weak.
Yet precisely because it is often the hardest thing to do means that it requires more strength. Waiting builds muscles that might be rarely used, but with repetition grow stronger.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
(Psalm 27:14)
Rushing ahead requires restless energy and impatience. Waiting requires strength and courage.
