Quote by Osayi Osar-Emokpae

There's a difference between waiting with patient expectation, and waiting because you never know what God will do. If you don't know how God thinks or what God wants to do in your life, read the Bible. When you know what God wants you to do, go out there and do it and see God work his wonderful mission through you.The whole time you thought you were waiting on God, but the whole time God was WAITING ON YOU.

There's a difference between waiting with patient expectatio

Summary

This quote emphasizes the distinction between two types of waiting: waiting with patient expectation and waiting because of uncertainty regarding God's plans. It suggests that if one is unsure of God's intentions, they should turn to the Bible to gain clarity. Once aware of God's desires, they should take proactive actions, allowing God to work through them. The quote then presents a thought-provoking twist, suggesting that while individuals often perceive themselves as waiting on God, it is actually God who is waiting for them to take the necessary steps towards fulfilling their mission.

I suppose there's a melancholy tone at the back of the American mind, a sense of something lost. And it's the lost world of Thomas Jefferson. It is the lost sense of innocence that we could live with a very minimal state, with a vast sense of space in which to work out freedom.
