Wait!

Wouldn't you rather do anything than wait? If the truth were known, some of us would rather do the wrong thing than wait.

I have found, however, that waiting is the rule rather than the expectation in life. The exception is an open door; when you have one - GO! They don't happen very often! But waiting, when the door is closed doesn't mean you're out of the will of God. You could be right in the center of His will.

The open door is the exception. The burst of green lights happen just a few seconds in life. The rest of the time is filled with a few yellow lights, and mostly red lights that flash. Wait, wait, wait! - (from Three Steps Forward and Two Steps Back by Charles Swindoll)

It's easy to compromise when people are waiting for you to act. Determine that no matter the pressure, no matter the cost, no matter the delay, you will act only when your response honors God. Never compromise your integrity to satisfy others.
