A test of our patience is waiting on God...
Sometimes we think that His timing is odd.
Though waiting for Him can become a real test,
Always He'll give us what truly is best.
Patience is not very easy to learn,
But learning it well great merits will earn.
Maybe He's teaching us we need to trust,
Or saying, "Our attitudes we should adjust."
Jumping ahead of His timing and plan
May shortchange the beauty of what He began.
We can move forward and His plans ignore,
But if we will wait He'll give us much more.
"But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."
James 1:4 KJV
