Patience to wait

I was talking to a man in the gym yesterday who was struggling with the patience to wait for God's answer to his prayer for direction for his project. My immediate response was, "Oh man, have I been there before." Patience to wait...but as we wait, God is working out His perfect agenda in His perfect timing. Even the book of James tells us that patience, endurance, perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Sometimes it gets to a point to where we wonder if God even remembers, but let me assure you that God never forgets, and in His providential plan He is working all things together for your good. I am patiently waiting for answers in my life right now. I know He knows the best way to go and the perfect time to open the doors. So I perservere, wait, let patience finish its' work knowing that in the perfect time I will come through more mature, more complete, and with my answer. So take it upon yourself to walk in joy through times like these because your going to come out a stronger and better person in the end.
