Wait for God's timing and He will do it without any heartache or disappointment. When it is a question of the providential will of God, wait for God to move. Peter did not wait for God. He predicted in his own mind where the test would come, and it came where he did not expect it. "I will lay down my life for Your sake." Peter's statement was honest but ignorant.

Patience is not the same as indifference; patience conveys the idea of someone who is tremendously strong and able to withstand all assaults. Having the vision of God is the source of patience because it gives us God's true and proper inspiration. Moses endured, not because of his devotion to his principles of what was right, nor because of his sense of duty to God, but because he had a vision of God.

Do not look for God to come in a particular way, but do look for Him.

Though it tarries, wait for it." The proof that we have the vision is that we are reaching out for more than we have already grasped. It is a bad thing to be satisfied spiritually.

Lord, I still move and live in a dim world, feeling Thee near by faith, but I will not presume. I would hide in Thee in security and patience until I am as Thou wouldst have me to be.

and I feel as if it will be overwhelming to one day see what God has wrought, and one will only be sorry not to have trusted more utterly. So just go on praying and believing and we will surely find that God is doing His wondrous things all the time.

We act like pagans in a crisis—only one out of an entire crowd is daring enough to invest his faith in the character of God.

Never try to help God fulfill His word. Abram went through thirteen years of silence, but in those years all of his self-sufficiency was destroyed. He grew past the point of relying on his own common sense. Those years of silence were a time of discipline, not a period of God's displeasure.

Think of the enormous leisure of God! He is never in a hurry. We are always in such a frantic hurry.

Our faith is real, but it is not yet permanent. And God is never in a hurry. If we are willing to wait, we will see God pointing out that we have been interested only

God never crushes a man's will into surrender, He never beseeches him, He waits until the man yields up his will to Him.

When God brings a time of waiting, and appears to be unresponsive, don't fill it with busyness, just wait.
