Bible Verses on Patience

Part 2
Numbers 23:19
“God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither the son of man, that he should repent:
Hath he said, and will he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and will he not make it good?”
God’s word does not present Christians with opinions, but rather the truth. When we consider His truth and all the ways He promises to support Christians, we can abandon all doubt and fear. God does not lie. When promises deliverance He means just that.
When God offers us salvation, we can believe Him.
Isaiah 40:31
“But they who wait for 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.”
The benefit of waiting for God to act on our behalf is that He promises renewal. We will not be overcome by our circumstances, and will instead become better people in the process.
Romans 8:18
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
All of our past, present, and future afflictions serve to make us into people more like Jesus.
 And no matter how dire our situations, the glory that comes later is the glory in heaven.
 There we won’t have to suffer anymore.
Lamentations 3:25
“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.”
God appreciates a person with a patient mindset. Those are the individuals listening to His word when He commands us to wait.
Psalms 8:3-4
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
God has taken delicate care of the sun, moon, stars, planets, Earth, animals, the land, and sea.
 He demonstrates that same intimate care with our lives. God works at His pace, and though we may have to wait for God, we know He will act.
Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Sometimes temptation leads us to want to solve our own problems. And sometimes God wants us to exercise free will to better our lives. Nonetheless, there are many things in life we cannot control,
 and thus, many times we have to lean on God’s course of action rather than our own.
Psalm 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.”
The greatest inheritance God grants His followers is salvation. That is not a promise given to all.
“Only one life to live and soon is past
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
