Waiting In OBEDIENCE

• Why does God allow this waiting?
• Hes working in the waiting
• How should I wait?
• Waiting on the Lord is a confident, disciplined,
  expectant, active, sometimes painful clinging to
  God. Waiting on the Lord is the continual, daily
  decision to say, God, I will trust you and I
  will obey you even though the circumstances of my
  life are not turning out the way I want them to,
  and they may never turn out the way I want them
  to. Im betting everything on you, God, and there
  is no Plan B. Thats waiting on the Lord. Its
  the hardest work of hoping. John Ortberg
