"Remain there [in Egypt] until I tell thee" is a command given to Joseph by the messenger of God. Waiting is very difficult in our culture. We want things instanteously, at the push of a button. Some of us may at times become very impatient when, unconsciously or consciously, we operate from "I have it coming to me; I shouldn't have to wait for anyone." We may function from that position by virtue of the position we hold in the company, in our Church, in our religious community, by virture of our educational background, or for reasons we are unable to pinpoint. We simbly are very demanding.
Wait upon the Lord. Mary, Mother of Sorrows certainly teaches us to wait. There is a passage in Is. 30:15 that reminds us that "by waiting and by calm, you shall be saved; in quiet and in trust your stgrength lies." That is certainly what Mary teaches us.
