it takes time to learn patience

Isn’t it grace, not to give man what he wants, but give him
what he needs.
How many parents can recall teaching their children this lesson
over and over again, till their kids finally grew up to teach the
same lesson to their own children.
Ask and it shall be given to you.
Yes, but too often we ask for a serpent without even knowing it.
In asking we learn patience.
Most probably patience was never seen in God’s character
before the birth of man.
In His relationship with man God chose to wait.
Love is patient. I Cor.13:4
Waiting is in God’s plan.
It takes time to learn patience.
Nobody has a natural gift for it.
Pastor Scibelli pointed out in the Grace Hour that the Hebrew
word for waiting has the thought of serving while you are
waiting. Isn’t that what we are doing today?
Engaging ourselves in useful activities while waiting for
the return of our Savior.
We all love heroes, but the Bible teaches that patient men
are more useful than heroes. Proverbs 16:32
It takes patience to be faithful.
