A person who has patience is able to wait without complaint through problems and unsatisfied desires. A patient person is calmly submissive to Divine will, waiting to know and to do what the Lord has planned for him. Patience comes from the Lord when you keep your thoughts on Him and keep your life in His will. Is. 26:3 Long-suffering is also a form of patience.
Impatience often leads a person to say or to do things that are against God’s will. Those who patiently endure for Jesus Christ will receive His blessing.
Do you have patience? Are you cooperating with the Lord so that He is able to build patience into your life?

“But they that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
