Since scripture teaches that it takes tribulation/trials to develop patience (Romans 5:3) it's not usually a virtue that people are quick to seek from God. However, a lot more things are accomplished through patience/perseverance than they are through power. The people that know how to persevere while waiting on God's intervention...will succeed in time. And, they will develop a tenacity of spirit that gives them a power the "powerful" may never know!
