Waiting for God means power to do nothing save under command. This is not lack of power to do anything. Waiting for God needs strength rather than weakness. It is power to do nothing. It is the strength that holds strength in check. It is the strength that prevents the blundering activity which is entirely false and will make true activity impossible when the definite command comes.

God has given no pledge that he will not redeem and encouraged no hope that he will not fulfill.

True peace is when the soul revolves around its center, Almighty God, craving for nothing but what God continually supplies. Since the soul is large enough to contain the infinite God, nothing less than Himself can satisfy or fill it.
– Edward B. Pusey –
When Jesus said “The Kingdom of God is within you,” He meant that kingdom that governs and controls the heart and mind and outlook.
