I am curious about the core idea of some Christians that they insist on waiting before "doing good". What does scripture say about waiting for direction from God?

This is not a pro/con list or an attempt to evaluate the validity of the scripture or the concept of waiting for God. I'd just like help identifying the scripture that supports the concept of waiting to act.
