Yes... but how long are you willing to wait?

Patience.

I’ve asked for it.

Last week I was at church and someone asked for it.

If you’ve been waiting for a new blog post while I was on my latest teaching prac, you’d have needed it.

But, whenever someone is speaking about their desire for patience (usually having to do with a revelation of a next step) there should always be a probing follow-up question.

How long are you willing to wait?

Unfortunately, when it comes to patience... we want it now!

In order to reveal our heart behind the request for patience, we should probe for the expected timeline of the petitioner.

Do they want an answer on their timeline or on God’s?
