We get in a hurry when we don't wait on the Lord. We jump ahead and do rash things. We shoot from the hip. We run off at the mouth, saying things that we later regret. But when we have sufficiently waited on the lord, He gets full control of our spirit.
At such moments, we're like a glove, and His hand is moving us wherever He pleases.
When you wait on the lord, you don't have to sit in a corner contemplating with your navel, or walk around in a daze humming "Sweet hour of prayer". You don't have to wear a robe and live in a hut in Tibet for winter. Sometimes, of course, you need to sit down quietly, by yourself, alone with Lord for a time of quietness.
Solitude and silence are wonderful when nourishing our souls. But mostly you go right on with your business. You press on with your regular activities.
You just focus more fully in the Lord in the midst of it. You stay pre-occupied with Him. You think His thoughts. You feed your soul with His manna.
