Patience and time, together, are a test of our endurance
"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:13 KJV
Patience
When one has patience, he has the capacity to accept and tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. Their are so many things in this life that test our level of tolerance. Doing good and loving others no matter what are just two of those things. We as Christians [Born-again believers] are admonished to be good to others, pray for our enemies, and love our neighbors as ourselves. The no matter what part literally goes against our fleshly grain. Still, we are to do what God says with all lowliness, meekness, and longsuffering, while being polite and patiently enduring one another in love-Ephesians 4:2 I know being patient with people gets hard and , at times, seems impossible but - with God all things are possible Matthew 19:26. Trust Him. Wait on Him. "Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart.....- Psalm 27:14. and "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 KJV
Time
As for time, it is not something we can control. I know we move our clocks back and forth according to season. However, time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole. One must value time. When I look back over my life, I often wonder where the time went. Time doesn't go anywhere we do. We are mere vapors visible for a little while (James 4:14)
God is in Control
Choose to do what God says no matter your feelings of when is this or that going to come to pass. We must wait on God else wise we'd be operating in self. No one enjoys waiting but God's timing is perfect. Trust Him. If God brought you to it, He'll bring you through it in His perfect time. "Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:24 KJV). Remember, patience and time, together, are a test of endurance
Praise God
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Put it all in His hands. Have a blessed stress free worry free day on purpose and never stop believing Jesus paid it all.
