Scriptural references for: Patience is faith being tested and triedVerbatim references: None He who waits for the Lord, will
appear to the impatient person to be doing nothing, yet he is doing the most
difficult task of all, waiting and having patience. Patience is faith being tested and tried. The trial of faith is the key to glory, a victory
that never can be won without patience. When the wind is blowing and the sails of a ship at sea are
full everyone on the ship finds it easy to rejoice. But when the doldrums come all the sailors will have sad
faces except for the most seasoned veteran of the sea. Brethren, we must be willing to endure the suffering to gain
the victory and without the virtue of patience true victory can never be won. An impatient person is easily discouraged; a patience man
abounds with hope. |
