Patient Waiting

Romans 8:25

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

John Murray:

Impatience spells dispute and dissatisfaction with God's design. Attempts to claim for the present life elements which belong to consummated perfection, whether it be in the individual sphere or in the collective, are but symptoms of that impatience which would disrupt divine order. Expectancy and hope must not cross the bounds of history; they must wat for the end, "the liberty of the glory of the children of God".
