Hebrews 10: 36 "You need patience to do God's will and receive what He has promised." Amen to this. This speaks directly to my heart. I don't know about you, but I seem to want things, or think that something should happen in a specified time, (usually my time). Sometimes, (probably most of the time), though, these things I am wanting to happen don't just concern "me". There are a lot of other factors in things that are happening in our lives, not only concerning us, but those who are in our lives or moving through our lives. All these pieces fit together according to God's perfect plan. I suppose, if we try to do something our own way(according to what we think we want), or we try to control a situation (or think we have control of it), it may seem to move along more quickly, but in most cases, if we are not focusing on God and His plan, these things don't usually work out, (as we may be considering just "me"). Then again, it may work out for "me", but what about all the rest, all the others involved? Only through God's will can things work out perfectly, because God's plan is the perfect plan. It is for the good of all. Who else could ever accomplish such a task? PTL
