It’s wise to wait.
You’re never going to accomplish much for the Lord if you try to do
everything in the energy of the flesh & all yourself instead of sitting down & saying, “Now, God, what do YOU want me to do?” One of the main problems most of us have is jumping to conclusions & making sudden hasty decisions without WAITING on the LORD. So don’t go rushing around in your own strength, in your own impatience, & forget to pray! Seek the Lord! Don’t just jump to conclusions & think, “Well, it’s obvious that we’re supposed to do this.” Ask the LORD & make SURE.
And remember, God is hardly ever in a hurry! The greatest works of God take TIME. It takes God time to grow a flower or even to paint a sunset. So when you do not know for sure, & have not yet made certain that a thing is God’s will, then the best thing to do is to WAIT on the Lord until He reveals it to you one way or the other.
“Wait on the Lord & be of good courage, & He shall strengthen thine heart! For they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength”–instead of wearing out! “They shall mount up with wings as eagles. For they that believe have entered into rest.” (Psa.27:14; Isa.40:31; Heb.4:3)

等待是明智的！
你若想凭肉体的精力，凭自己去做事，而不是坐下来说∶“上帝啊，现在您想要我去做什么？”，那么，你就永远无法为上主完成多少事情。我们大多数人常犯的一个毛病，就是过早下结论，匆忙做出决定，而不等待上主。因此千万不要凭你自己的力量、因你自己的不耐烦而匆促行事，竟至于忘了祷告！要寻求上主！别只是过早下结论，以为∶“嗯，显然我们该这样做。”求问上主来确定吧！
要记得，上帝向来是很少匆忙行事的！上帝伟大的杰作，都需要时间来完成。上帝需要花时间来使一朵花生长、或渲染一次日落。因此当你还不敢保证和不确信某件事情是否是上帝的旨意时，你最好是等待一下上主，等到他向你做出启示。
“要等候耶和华，当壮胆，他必会坚固你的心！因那等候耶和华的，必重新得力”，而不是变得精疲力竭！“他们必如鹰展翅上腾。因那些相信的人，已进入安息。”（诗27:14;赛40:31;来4:3）
