(Rom 8:25 NKJV) But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
Perseverance. It’s not something that we hear much about these days. Everyone wants everything in a split second. We’re a world of people who want instant gratification.
God says differently. His word says that we are to eagerly wait, with perseverance.
I’m in awe that He says we should “eagerly wait”. Most times we tend to wait impatiently, wishing that our answer would come quickly. But God wants us to wait, eagerly expecting His answer.
It’s the perseverance that He wants us to learn that allows us to wait for something eagerly. Without the perseverance we just wait impatiently.
God has taught me much about perseverance over the years, but I still have a long way to go before I even begin to achieve His desire of us “waiting eagerly” in the truest meaning of it.
I ask for God’s strength for each and everyone of us, to learn how to persevere and wait eagerly for His answers.
