Thought For Today: “The Virtue of Patience”

Solomon gives us this piece of advice when it comes to life.

“The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.” (Ecclesiastes 7:8)

Patience during a problem is not easy, but it will produce more in the end than moving ahead in our pride without God.

The Bible says that whoever is patient has great understanding and, in the end, will reap a bountiful harvest. (Proverbs 14:29; Galatians 6:9)

Patience will also give us strength to accomplish the goals in life

“But those who wait on 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.” (Isaiah 40:31)

Therefore, be patient in the problems that come with life knowing that God is testing our faith, and when we do, we will, in the end, be perfect, complete, and lacking nothing. (James 1:2-4)
