Undated Promises

"Though we find promises of God throughout Scripture, they don't come with specific dates and times. Therefore, when our circumstances contradict God's character and promises, we're tempted to supply God with a time frame and demand that He fulfill His promises according to it....It takes faith to wait tranquilly for something for which we have a promise from God, but no date."

--C.J. Mahaney, Humility: True Greatness

Waiting Is Not Passive

"Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!" (Psalm 27:14)

Waiting on the Lord requires strength and courage. It's not a passive activity.
