2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
Waiting for The Father to deliver to us that which He has promised us, can be seen as an exercise in faithfulness patiently growing us into the person that Our Father is sculpting, into the child that He favours with His loving support on our journey walking with Him at His side.
For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come and will not delay.
~ Habakkuk 2:3
Our trust in Our Father's friendship is tested daily by our choice to do all that He asks of us.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. - Romans 8:28
The inevitable question arises, how will we know that it is God's purpose that we are serving?
Our Father will speak to us in the quietness of our thoughts, ensuring that we will understand that it is He who is shepherding us through our daily life's challenges, into all that we are revealing as His beloved child.
Lamentations 3:25-26 – Wait Quietly
“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”
