The Long Obedience

This isn't passive inactivity, but diligent, desperate, perseverance. Waiting on God entails three elements: (1) complete dependence on Him (embracing the truth of what He just said and actively entrusting one's soul and circumstances to the God who does what He says He does); (2) yielding to His schedule, i.e., patiently acquiescing to the wisdom of His timing, not ours; and (3) seeking God's face, pressing into know Him better and to love Him more." - Sam Storms, One Thing, pp. 102-103
