Dave points out that we're OK waiting when the lights are red, but if the lights are green and we're still waiting, that’s when we struggle!
When we're waiting for God's plan, it's good to do something productive. Patience in the Bible means 'long-suffering'. This is God's way: the long plan; the unseen plan.
Long-suffering doesn't mean getting more and more angry while we stuff our feelings down; It means having a plan and sticking to it.
We wait for God in His time: He will give us the green light when He's ready.
