God's Timetable

[New Era]

God's Timetable

"Elder Neal A. Maxwell linked patience and faith together when he taught: 'Patience is tied very closely to faith in our Heavenly Father. Actually, when we are unduly impatient, we are suggesting that we know what is best--better than does God. Or, at least, we are asserting that our timetable is better than His' (
"Patience," Ensign, Oct. 1980, 28).   

"We can grow in faith only if we are willing to wait patiently for God's purposes and pattern to unfold in our lives, on His timetable."  (
Robert C. Oaks, "The Power of Patience," Ensign, Nov. 2006, 16-17)
