Times of waiting help us develop character

For it is God who is working in you, enabling you both to desire and to work out His good purpose. - Philippians 2:13

Have you ever noticed that a lot of the time we want things 'now'. We want our teachers to give us less homework, 'now'. We want our parents to get off our case, 'now'. We want our lives and our relationships to get better, 'now'. We live in a world where things often happen fast and we are so used to instant downloads and results and action that it's sometimes hard for us to be patient and wait for things to change. 

TODAY'S TRUTH: TIMES OF WAITING HELP US DEVELOP CHARACTER

But it's in the times of waiting that God helps us develop character in our lives. In the waiting time, God might challenge you to get closer to him.

Waiting isn't always comfortable, but it's good for us. In those times of waiting on the promises of God, we can develop godly character.

Today's if you've been waiting for change for awhile, don't give up. God is working in your life. Through this situation, he's going to build character into your life.
