One of the things I absolutely hate doing is waiting. I am a "do now" person. Tell me the job and I'll get it done. I am a task manager and I work better under pressure.
The problem with that is sometimes in the midst of my task managing, I miss very important details. Sometimes, I even miss an opportunity to hear from God.
The Hebrew word for wait means to twist or stretch, and includes the idea of tension and enduring. It means to look forward with confident hope that is good and beneficial. Twisting, stretching? Tension? Well all of that is the story of my life!!!
Here is my big realization or the day... If I wait on God with hope I am directly aligning myself and connecting with God. As I type this out, it makes no sense to me and yet at the same time it does. All He wants from me is to quietly wait on Him. Sounds easy, but can I really wait? Can I be quiet while I wait? I am a talk, talk, talker. I love to talk. Once again, with all of my talking I sure do miss that opportunity of hearing from my Maker. Lord, please help me to shut up and listen!!!

Thanks I needed that. Does it really mean to stretch and twist. No wonder I can't sit still.
