Are you tired of seeing nothing move? Are you just at the point of giving it all up? Perhaps no one ever told you that patience takes away worry. It takes away all the wobbling; patience takes you to the place where you could meet Jesus spiritually and be comforted with His presence.
Jesus’ promise is equal to His presence. His presence will take away your weeping. Why feel sad and despondent? He knows your need better than you do, and His purpose in allowing you to wait a little longer is to bring more glory out of the trial. Patience takes away self-works. The work He desires is that you “believe” (John 6:29), and when you believe, you may then know that all is well.
Patience takes away all want. Your desire for the thing you wish is perhaps stronger than your desire for the will of God to be fulfilled in its arrival. Patience takes away all weakening for it is assured that God is getting a larger supply ready and He must prepare you for the overflow.
Get hold of this restful patience as you seek the presence of the Lord. When patience has her ways; it will steady you while you wait. Patience gives worship and when she finishes her work, you will find enrichment. Wait joyfully for the Lord.
Colossians 1:11
We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy.
