Waiting on God: What to Do When God Does Nothing

I thought I knew everything there was to know about the story of Joseph.
I was wrong.
Wayne Stiles takes you through the Joseph story and makes it come alive--but more importantly teaches you so much about how to wait when there doesn't seem to be any hope in sight--and when God doesn't seem to be showing up.
Some of my favourite quotes:
"We want God to change situations. God wants to change us in them."
"One reason many people never see God working in their lives is because they never hang in long enough for God to show his power."
I've been walking through a season of waiting, and Wayne Stiles showed me how to see God in the midst of waiting--how to recognize when God is encouraging us, when God is showing us that He sees us, but also when God is saying, "there is still more to the story to come."
A great book!

“We want God to change situations. God wants to change us in them.”

― Waiting on God: What to Do When God Does Nothing
“Waiting is a very active part of living. Waiting on God, if we do it correctly, is anything but passive. Waiting works its way out in very deliberate actions, very intentionally searching the Scriptures and praying, intense moments of humility, and self-realization of our finiteness. With the waiting comes learning. I can’t think of much I’ve learned that’s positive from the times I’ve plowed ahead without waiting on God.”

“The Lord was with Joseph, and Joseph remained forgotten for two years. Both were equally true.”
