What are the dangers of not waiting on the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

Not waiting on the Lord can lead to heartache and destruction, as seen in Israel’s rebellious history (Psalm 106:13-15).

The dangers of not waiting on the Lord are vividly illustrated through Israel’s own failures in scripture. When the people of Israel forgot the Lord’s works and did not wait for His counsel, they faced dire consequences and 'leanness' in their souls as a result of their rebellion. Acting prematurely without seeking God’s guidance can lead to regret and trouble, as everything God purposes works together for good for His children. The narrative of Abraham and Sarah illustrates this, where their failure to wait resulted in the birth of Ishmael, causing generational consequences. Thus, waiting on the Lord is crucial for avoiding self-inflicted harm.
