6 Bible verses on waiting on God

Human beings are no different from children.

We pray to God and expect an answer, immediately.

When He does not answer, we say there is no God.

This impatience explains the number of Christians, who go around, daily, seeking for miracles and fast remedies to their solution.

We forget that the Bible is filled with believers, who waited and held on, in spite of their problems, such as Job, Abraham, and so on.

Holding to their faith, even when it seemed pointless and useless.

Romans 8:25 - "But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."
