What if God is developing something in us in the waiting?

Is it possible that we actually have a role to play in the waiting?

Psalm 13:1-3

What if patience is more than waiting? What if it's actually the key to growing in the other areas of the fruit of the Spirit?

PATIENCE: the ability to endure

^ How do we do that?

In the tension of waiting, God is not absent, God is not apathetic,

and God is not angry with you.

God’s silence is not a sign of His absence.

Matthew 4:12-13

There is a purpose in the exercise of your patience.

James 1:1-4

The tension could be the focal point of God’s activity in your life.

Spiritual maturity is always measured in terms of persevering faith, not perfect behavior.

Psalm 13:5-6
