You cannot replace obeying with waiting.

Summary

The sermon's main theme is the deceptive nature of perceived waiting versus actual disobedience. It highlights that what we think is waiting for God's timing is often a result of not liking what God has told us to do, particularly regarding forgiveness and letting go of bitterness. The practical takeaway is that obedience, specifically the act of "washing" away bitterness, cannot be replaced by passive waiting, and delaying this obedience can lead to God closing doors or choosing someone else.
