Matthew 14:32
Waiting patiently
is not a strong suit in American society.
One of the biggest
differences between a Type T and Type W is that W's
learn to wait.
Everyone of us, at some
juntures of our lives, will have to learn to
wait.
In Scripture, waiting is
so closely associated with faith that sometimes the two words are
used interchangeably.
Forty-three times
in the OT alone, the people are commanded to wait on the
Lord.
The last words in
the Bible are about waiting.
1. A Water Walker's most important
skill.
A. The ability to
wait is a test of maturity.
B. The inability to
control impulses, the refusal to live in patient
waiting and trust, lies close to the heart of human
fallenness.
C. While we are
waiting on God to set everything right, we suffer but
suffering produces endurance, endurance,
character, and character, hope.
D. What biblical
waiting is not:
1. It is not
a passive waiting around for something to happen that will
allow you to escape your trouble.
E. Waiting on The
Lord is a confident, disciplined, expectant, active
and sometimes painful clinging to God.
