Waiting on God's Counsel

"When we come together, praising God for all He has done and taught and given, we may at the same time be limiting Him by not expecting greater things. It was when God had given Jericho into his hands that Joshua thought the victory over the city of Ai was sure and did not wait for counsel from God. And so while we think we know and trust the power of God for what we might expect, we may be hindering Him by not practicing the habit of waiting for His counsel." Andrew Murray
