Wait on the Lord

Dear Victorious,

What does it mean, exactly, to wait on the Lord? It doesn't seem like we really have any choice in the matter. God will just do whatever He wants whenever He wants. And we just have to accept it. Right?

Dear Dean,

Accepting it, as you say, is where the trick lies. Waiting on the Lord means that we don't try to take matters into our own hands (and out of His). It means that we trust and even have confidence that God will act and that He will do so at the right time. Moreover, our behaviors and choices will reflect that confidence.
