"S.D. Gordon, in his Quiet Talk on Prayer, describes waiting.
It means:
Steadfastness, that is holding on;
patience, that is holding back;
expectancy, that is holding the face up;
obedience, that is holding one's self in readiness to go or do;
listening, that is holding quiet and still so as to hear."
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Ps 27:14
And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. Ps 39:7
(This last verse can be read two ways: the first, as a plea for the Lord to hear, the second, as a confession of faith in the Lord.)
