"He must increase, but I must decrease."

Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God is not going to sleep. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under command; second, readiness for any new command that may come; third, the ability to do nothing until the command is given.

Waiting on God means power to do nothing save under command. This is not lack of power to do anything. Waiting for God needs strength rather than weakness. It is power to do nothing. It is the strength that holds strength in check. It is the strength that prevents the blundering activity which is entirely false and will make true activity impossible when the definite command comes.

This is definitely the word I needed to hear today.  It is always such a blessing to learn something from those friends that are younger than me.  It gives me hope and shows me there are those that are still actively seeking God.  Thank you, Amber!
