Waiting For God
April 11, 2011 by Mike
Without question, waiting for God to do something specific in our lives is one of the hardest things for many Christians to do in their walks with the Lord. Wating for God to bring something to pass in this life will sometimes stretch your faith and your patience levels almost to a breaking point with the Lord at times.
However, as we also know, God has many of the things that He will want to do in our lives set up on a set timetable. This means that God will be the One who will be determining when something will come to pass in our lives, not us or any of our close friends or family.
So the sooner you can learn how to have patience with the Lord with how He will want to work things out in your life, the better off you are going to be and the more peace you will have in your life.
For those of you who would like many of the main Bible verses on this very important topic, here is the link to our main article on this topic:
