In patience or Impatience

So I was listening to a sermon by Matt Chandler and he was talking about how God had prophets speak to His people about the coming promise of Immanuel. The child who will have the government upon His shoulders. And till this point Judah and Israel had been overran and conquered by the Assyrians which they eventually got their freedom back only to lose it again to the Romans. So when they hear that the government will be on the shoulders of this messiah then it seems that they would get excited. And then what happens? It does not happen for hundreds of years later and even on top of that God decides to stop speaking to His people for four hundred years. 400 YEARS!!! How impatient must they have been waiting for the Messiah. I feel like I am in a waiting time myself and yet I get so impatient with all of it. It gets so frustating not knowing what I am going to do right now or in the near future. Yet I must learn and not only learn but allow the Holy Spirit to develop the patience that He has and cultivate it in my life. So please pray for this patience in my life and in the church's life because I see the same thing happening to many brothers and sisters in Christ. God bless all of you with this patience and that He blesses you with a spirit of revelation and understanding.
