       Often times we think we are waiting on God for something—that he has to make the circumstances right to give us what he wants to give us. But really, many times God is waiting for us to be at the right spot in our life to give us what we desire and want. This may be a great position at work, a different career, a spouse, a child—whatever it is—sometimes God is working things in us to prepare us for that reward. It is stated in James 1:2-4: “Dear brothers, is your life full of difficulties and temptations? Then be happy, for when the way is rough, your patience has a chance to grow. So let it grow, and don’t try to squirm out of your problems. For when your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character, full and complete” (TLB). You may be thinking, “Yeah, but I’ve already been waiting a long time.” Well, wait longer. God has his reasons for doing what he is doing, and maybe, your patience isn't as fully developed as you think it is. You never know later in life when, and for what, you’re going to need that cultivated patience for.
