Waiting on God

We all want to do God's work, but often we grow impatient with His timing. The quote below is a gentle reminder of God's desire for our attitude.

"One virtue of the true disciple of Jesus is 'a call to spiritual perseverance'. A call to not hang on and do nothing, but to work deliberately, knowing with certainty that God will never be defeated.

If our hopes are experiencing disappointment right now, it simply means that they are being purified (refined). Every hope or dream of the human mind will be fulfilled if it is noble and of God. But one of the greatest stresses in life is the stress of waiting for God. He brings fulfillment, 'because you have kept my command to persevere...' (Revelation 3:10 NKJV)."

-Oswald Chambers
