"You are preaching to yourself of a God who is distant, passive, and uncaring or of a God who is near, caring, and active. You are always preaching to yourself a gospel that causes you to rest in his wisdom or a gospel that produces a bit of panic because it seems as if there are no answers to be found.”—Paul Tripp

“Here’s what I mean: instead of seeing waiting as something that happens to you, I’d like you to see waiting as something you choose to do. Rather than seeing waiting as what to do when you are stuck, what if you intentionally embraced it? What if waiting on the Lord is an expression of obedience? What if it’s an act of hope-filled, gutsy faith? For many of us (myself included), this could be deeply transformational.”

—Mark Vroegop, Waiting Isn’t a Waste
