There is nothing that builds faith more deeply and completely than waiting on God.
Why is it so hard to wait? Even when there is no open door, the flesh clamors and itches to do something. Anything. It wants to feel some sense of event, even if action is foolish.
The Spirit trains the Soldier of The Cross to wait. How is it that one can wait "until you hear the marching in the tops of the mulberry trees"?
What is that? It is the training of the Lord.
Oh, Soldier. There can be no work of The Cross without submission to this divine discipline. The bottom line is always, can He or can He not be trusted? Is the Word of God true? Is He real? Does He care, or is He passive, being sometimes weak and sometimes strong?
We all know the right answers. So then, why is it so hard to wait?
Those who hold this training precious learn to hide in the Cleft of the Rock during the storm.
He created Time. He is never late. He is The Craftsman and pays attention to each detail.
Soldier, look up and move on. Do this in prayer. Attend to the next thing in your schedule, and do it with all you are and all you have.
Left foot, right foot. Left foot, right foot. Left foot, right foot.
Tell Him in prayer. Aloud.
