I found the word WAIT 73 times in the Bible (in the NLT).

Psalm 62:1 I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him.
Psalm 62:5 Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.

I am not good at waiting. I definitely do not do well waiting quietly. But as I pondered this idea of waiting, I was reminded of Acts 1:4-5, where Jesus tells his disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they receive the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. In other words, WAIT.

Then in Acts 2:1-13 we read about what occurred when the Holy Spirit arrived on Pentecost.

Maybe, just maybe, there is a reason we have been told to wait. The irony of the timing does not escape me. We just celebrated the Resurrection of the Messiah, just as those disciples had.
Just as He had told them to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit, we wait and pray for a new, fresh filling of the Holy Spirit in this place, and at this time, for a new work to begin here.
