Waiting on the lord.

One of the important exhortations of the Bible is the call to "wait on the lord". Even though God promises special blessing for waiting, waiting is one of the most difficult exhortations of the scripture. Why is it so hard? Because, as a part of fallen humanity, we are so prone to take matters into our own hands, to follow our own schemes. Yet, over and over again we are told in the scripture "wait on the lord". Even Jesus early life was spent in God's waiting room in Egypt. Job was the most famous man on earth; extremely wealthy; the best of the best. But Job lost it all. Not only did he lose everything he was surrounded by carnal judgmental friends........ even his wife urged him to curse God and die Job found himself in God's waiting room. Wait I say on the Lord............................
