Patience is something that our God would have us all to learn. Patience is also a fruit of knowing Him (see Galatians 5:22-23).
Imagine the Israelites having to wait before the Red Sea for God to act. Meanwhile, one of the most powerful armies of all the world is nipping at their heals and closing fast open though. But they dare not move, not without their God that is. So as the Egyptian army is steadfastly closing in on them, Moses waits in patience, only holding up the staff which God had given him, for he knew that God would act, he knew that God would show himself strong. This faith gave him such great patience and perseverance, waiting upon the Lord our God.
And God did act, He came through and showed himself strong, as He always does for those who wait upon Him and trust His might hand.
Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God"
