Have patience in the lord!

 

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalms 27:14 

 

Many have received promises from the lord, but only a few are patient to receive the promises. To have patience in God is a virtue that is needed to work with the lord. 

Waiting on the Lord requires your faithfulness in Him. Psalms 37:34 “Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.” To wait and keep His ways in this verse alludes to walking uprightly with God. 

Two virtues will make you have patience in God and to walk perfectly with Him. These virtues are; Faith and Endurance. By faith, you have a hope that the Lord will answer you even when it seems impossible. The psalmist in Psalms 39:7 asked God a question that ‘what is he waiting on God to get’ He concluded that His hope is in the lord. Meaning that even if what He waited for seems unclear, he has a strong faith in Him.

The second, Endurance also known as long-suffering. It is one of the fruits of the Spirit. Without this fruit you can not be patient to wait on God. Endurance keeps you waiting on Him in all phases of life; times when things go right and when things go wrong.

 

Dear reader, I am sure you are blessed by the word today. Be patient with God. Whatsoever He promised you, He will do. Have faith and endurance in Him.

 

Conclusion:

Have patience in the lord, it may look far for you to receive the promise but with God, it looks nearer. Have faith and endure, you will surely receive that which the Lord promised you.
