Patience

Luke 21:19, Eccl 7:8, James 1:2-4, James 5:7-8, Heb 10:35-37, Psalms 37:7

 

By your Patience possess your souls. The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The Patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. My brethren, count it all Joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the Testing of my Faith produces Patience. But let Patience have its perfect work, that I may be Perfect and Complete, lacking nothing. Therefore be Patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, Waiting Patiently for it until he receives the early and latter rain. I also am Patient. Establish my hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Therefore I do not cast away my Confidence, which has great reward. For I have need of Endurance, so that after I have Done the Will of God, I may receive the Promises: "For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry. I Rest in the Lord, and I Wait Patiently for Him; I do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
