There are times when we just have to wait for clear direction.  We don’t like to wait.  We have been conditioned not to wait.  There was a time when people had to build a fire, if they wanted to cook something, but in our day, they just stick in the microwave.  Even the microwave seems slow to people who are conditioned to not wait.

Why doesn’t God give us immediate direction and understanding?  It may be that He uses the elapsed time to build our faith, or it may that He just delights in our spending some time with Him in prayer.  Whatever the reason, there are times when God lets us wait a while.  Those who wait find that there is a certain amount of blessing in the waiting.
