When it comes to what God is doing in our lives, we need a long-term view.
That's because God takes His time working out His purpose, so we'd be prepared for whatever He has in mind for us.
He's not in a hurry, even though we are.
So we need to patiently trust Him and actively obey Him as He works out the story of our lives.
This isn't easy.
As sons and daughters of Adam we're inclined to grasp for what we think we ought to have now instead of wait on God's best for us.
But patient trust along with active obedience will never fail you.
It might be hard to see in the short-term, but in the long-term it's always true.
