21 Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. 22 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave. 23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.
1 Corinthians 7
If you can gain your freedom, do so. Waiting on God is not a passive activity.
Yeah! I think waiting on God is the practice of expecting God to act for good, but not assuming he'll act in a way that I think is right or timely. Far from precluding personal action, waiting on God implies that I should do what I can to continue to follow his will as detailed in the Scriptures, and perhaps also to try to prepare specifically for whatever I'm waiting for.
