Psalm 37:7
Psalm 37:7
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Patience is a call to trust God’s plan, even when it seems others succeed while we wait. This stillness is not inactivity but an active choice to rest in God’s faithfulness. Worship becomes a place of reflection, where we quiet our hearts and listen for God’s voice. This patience is a testimony to our trust, showing that we believe in God’s promises even when they are unseen. By choosing to wait, we develop resilience, learning to hold on to hope in every season. This trust in God’s timing shapes our character, making us more like Christ, who waited faithfully on God’s will. Through this, we inspire others to trust in God’s promises, showing that true faith is willing to wait for God’s perfect timing. This patience is a testament to God’s faithfulness, showing that His promises are worth the wait and that His plans are always good.
James 5:7
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain.
Luke 11:11
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Ecclesiastes 7:8
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
2 Peter 3:8
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
