The patient nature of God is explained in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Although we've likely heard that scripture too many times to count, do we really understand what His patience means?


From our perspective, the Lord seems slow to punish but that is one way to comprehend His patience (2 Peter 3:9). He kindly gives people ample time to choose Him, so much so, that the wicked begin to think there will be no consequences for their evil (Zephaniah 1:12). However, His patience is an opportunity to spare many from an eternity in hell. Sadly, they're often too stiff-necked to realize before it is too late.


Another key way the Lord displays His patience is in how long He waits on us to figure out His word has already been spoken concerning our lives. Covenants and promises made long before we were born. All assuring of His love and the great inheritance He's apportioned to those who would have confidence in Him. He's just waiting for us to believe what He said because without that faith, we'll miss the miracle making a beeline our way.


It is easy to think God is slow to keep His promises. We may think He has delayed in fulfilling His word in our lives. But what if the person who's been slow and the one who delayed was...you?​

​God is waiting on us to believe He is faithful and to trust Him. He wants us to study His word and know that He poured out His compassion, love, grace, mercy and more through it. He is waiting for us to believe He is able. He is waiting on us to have faith that He will do exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ask or imagine. He's waiting on us to ignore that voice of disbelief and fear that chokes out faith. He wants us to take a Jairus Stance and believe the word Jesus spoke in Luke 8:50 - ...Don't be afraid; just believe...


Walking in faith isn't easy but God is determined to help every person that is willing. When our confidence in Him fractures, we must speak out like the father in Mark 9:24 who cried out to Jesus, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief." And we must be like the disciples who said, "increase our faith" in Luke 17:5. The Lord enjoys answering our prayers. He understands we are mere mortals and so it is in our weakness that His power is displayed (2 Corinthians 12:9).


May we all realize that we simply need to believe without a doubt that God is faithful and will do what He has said He will do. He will help us to continue to serve Him (Philippians 2:13). We must repent when we sin, listen to His Holy Spirit, and choose to be guided on His path of righteousness. Through Jesus, we have overcome the evil one. We are more than conquerors by our testimony, the blood of the Lamb, and our lack of fear of even death (1 John 2:13; Romans 8:37; Revelation 12:11). Our miracle shall surely become tangible and IJMN, we shall be like those who proclaimed, [w]hen the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed (Psalm 126:1). Amen.


And as we allow Him to help us in our faith journey, He will patiently persevere for our hearts, minds, and bodies. Waiting on us to believe Him fully in all things.​
