Patience

Patience 11/06/2011

Romans 5:3-5

New King James Version (NKJV)

³ And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; ⁴ and perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

We live in a microwave society. In this day and time in church we need patience.

Hebrews 10:38

New King James Version (NKJV)

³⁸ Now the just shall live by faith;
      But if anyone draws back,
      My soul has no pleasure in him.”

You have to hold on a little while longer because there are some things in life you have to work out.

Romans 15:4

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁴ For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

The worst thing you can do is give up when God has already showed you something.  You have to praise God through the Hell. God is not going to do it on your time but His time.

Patience is going through something without complaining. Be patient on your prophecy. Your character will keep you. You have to live by faith. Please believe God is working for your good and the devil is working against you.

If you  have patience God will work it out.

James 1:3-4

New King James Version (NKJV)

³ knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. ⁴ But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

You will appreciate it more if you have to go through the process. Just let patience build and you can be the best you.

Isaiah 40:31

New King James Version (NKJV)

³¹ But those who wait on the LORD
      Shall renew their strength;
      They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
      They shall run and not be weary,
      They shall walk and not faint.

Waiting - patiently waiting and serving until God releases you. You are going  to be renewed in strength. Pass this one last test. Eagles fly by themselves. Blue jays/ducks fly with each other. You are going to have to walk alone sometimes. It’s not hear yet but it is on the way. One word from God can change things.

Psalm 37:8-9

New King James Version (NKJV)

 ⁸ Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
         Do not fret—it only causes harm.
        
 ⁹ For evildoers shall be cut off;
         But those who wait on the LORD,
         They shall inherit the earth.

Psalm 40:1

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

¹ I waited patiently for the LORD;
         And He inclined to me,
         And heard my cry.

When you know what God is going to do you don’t have to be anxious.

Proverbs 23:7

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁷ For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

      “ Eat and drink!” he says to you,
      But his heart is not with you.

Speak life every chance you get. Let patience have a perfect work in Jesus’ name.
