Although waiting is not something we usually enjoy, God uses our times of waiting to prepare us for His leading. Pastor Bob also reminds us not to waste time while we wait for God to answer prayer or His promises to be fulfilled, but with a servant’s heart, look for opportunities to minister to others around you, and even strangers.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. James 1:17 (NKJV)
Consistency breeds security. If you're an employer, you take comfort in knowing that you have consistent employees working for you. If your car needs to be fixed, you're going to take it to a mechanic who has consistently performed well. And if you're a coach, you'll probably draw up a play at the end of a tight game that puts the ball in the hands of your best and most consistent player.
