G. Campbell Morgan offers a tremendous definition of what it means to "wait on God"...and I, for one, find this discipline of "waiting" to be a most difficult part of following after Jesus...I'd rather do just about anything than, ah, "wait..."
"Waiting for God means...readiness for any command; that sense of
perpetual suspense which listens for the word in order that it may be
immediately obeyed. Those who wait for God are pilgrim souls that have
no tie that will hold them when the definite command is issued; no
prejudices that will paralyse their effort when in some strange coming
of the light they are commanded to take a pathway entirely different to
that which was theirs before; having no interests either temporal or
eternal, either material or mental or spiritual, that will conflict with
the will of God when that will is made known."
