Patience

Two quotes on patience that a friend of mine shared with me:

“God never hurries. There are no deadlines against
which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our
spirits and relax our nerves.” A.W. Tozer

“The strength of patience hangs on our capacity to
believe that God is up to something good for us in all
our delays and detours.” John Piper

This is seriously needed, especially in my line of work when job descriptions are over-weighted with the lead-based expectations of "eternal urgency" and "kingdom consequences".

What is required of us but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God in stillness and acknowledgment that He is God and we are not?
