Romans 8:25 - "But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.

Today’s society gives us everything we could want instantly. Fast food! Catch up T.V!  But have you ever heard the saying "great things come to those who wait." To wait on things can be frustrating. After all, you want that guy to ask you out right now. Or you want that skateboard you saw in the magazine but don’t want to save up. Everything around us tells us we can have it now. Yet, the Bible tells us that God has His own timing. We need to wait on that timing or sometimes our blessings get lost. To be patient is a special gift. It isn’t something that you will get over night. Patience itself takes years and years to develop.  If you have ever prayed for God to give you patience you will notice that God puts you in situations designed to help you develop your patience, testing how you react. So don’t be surprised if you end up in a longer queue while going shopping or waiting longer for your dinner, or even waiting a little bit longer for something you have been asking for a long time.  But remember ‘Great things come to those who wait’ and it truly is an incredible gift to have!
