Patient waiting is often the highest way of doing God's will. –Collier
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9
When we go on visitation I often remind our church of this verse. I remind them it is not up to us to give the fruit. God will give the increase if we just remain faithful. The harvest may not be today or tomorrow. It may not be next week or next month. It may be a year or two from now. Whenever God gives the increase, we just need to be ready for it!
We need to be ready to share the Gospel. We need to be ready to give godly counsel. We need to be ready to give help whenever help is needed.
Even though we are being patient that doesn’t mean we aren’t doing anything! We should still be GETTING UP, GETTING READY and GOING TO CHURCH learning how to be patient!
