Waiting on God

Psalm 62:1 says, "truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation." Do we like to wait on God's leading and direction? Or perhaps instead of waiting we make our plans and plow ahead forgetting that the Word tells us, that man makes his plans and God orders his steps. It seems to me that I spend seconds at green lights and hours at yellow lights and most of the time at red lights. In Acts 1:4 Jesus told his disciples not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for the promise of the Father. This promise is found in verse 8 of the same  chapter and says, "But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses...." What are we waiting for? I hope that we understand that before we can go, or leave as the disciples wanted to, we must have the power to go. Waiting on the Lord renews our strength and then when he says go, we go!
