David was a man of action. How hard it must have been for hm to wait. Sometimes (usually, probably always) the best action we can take is to wait!
Make Your ways known to me, Lord; teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; I wait for You all day long. Remember, Lord, Your compassion and Your faithful love, for they have existed from antiquity. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my acts of rebellion; in keeping with Your faithful love, remember me because of Your goodness, Lord.
Psalm 25:4-8 HCSB
