There is within the human heart a tough fibrous root of fallen life whose nature is to possess, always to possess. It covets “things” with a deep and fierce passion. The pronouns “my” and “mine” look innocent enough in print, but their constant and universal use is significant. They express the real nature of the old Adamic man better than a thousand volumes of theology could do. They are verbal symptoms of our deep disease. The roots of our hearts have grown down into things, and we dare not pull up on rootlet lest we die. Things have become necessary to us, a development never originally intended. God’s gifts now take the place of God, and the whole course of nature is upset by the monstrous substitution. – A.W. Tozer, “The Pursuit of God” page 22

Psalm 27:14

"Wait for the Lord;

be strong, and let your heart take

courage;

wait for the Lord!

Why is it so hard to wait for God? I feel like I have been waiting for some resolution in a few areas in my life. Not that these things are going to kill me, but I feel that God is close to answering, to coming through, and then...he doesn't. At least not in the way I think. Not even in any way. So....my thoughts are that God is having me wait.

The thing about waiting is, it takes faith. Maybe thats why I don't want to wait, because I don't have the faith I should in God. Shouldn't "wait" be a good enough answer for me if I trust God? If I trust God to care for me I would know that when he has me wait it is for a purpose, for my own good, for something better than I have pictured or planned for. Yet, here I sit, waiting and hating it. God increase my faith in you.
