Because we are all His servants.
Mark 13:34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

The reason's we should wait on God is so that we know that we are not alone in this world and so that we know that God is for us and not against us. We should also wait on God because He gives us strength and wisdom as we come to Him. He does not give as the world gives. These are some of the benefits using scripture verses (sorry, not good at remember scripture references like most people are)
of waiting on God.

The pressure of the world and the trap of Satan is to urge you to make a decision in an instant, with little or no consideration. How many times have you made a decision under such circumstances? Usually, the outcomes of such choices are disastrous. Therefore, if you feel God leading you into a decision that calls for a rash, immediate judgment with no thought to the consequences, then you can be confident that message is not from God.
Third, if God is speaking, He will lead you to consider the future consequences of the particular decision. Not only does Satan lead us into rash, impatient decisions, but he also attempts to hide the future outcomes of those choices. However, God calls us to carefully consider the results of every decision.
You may have heard the old expression, “Eat, drink, and be merry.” Did you know that this is actually a biblical expression? What you may not have heard in popular usage is the full context of this phrase. You see, this was not spoken as an instruction to believers, but rather from the mouth of a fool who squandered his life. He decided to store up riches for himself with no thought of God or to the service of others. Seeing his folly, God responded, “You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?” ("http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=Luke+12:16-21&version=NASB") The message in this parable is that the man was foolish for thinking only of his immediate needs. The wise man is the one who considers the future consequences.
