Patience

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for the hope we have in Him… and how we can with patience wait for it.

Primary Text: Romans 8v25
“But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.” Romans 8v25 (KJV)

“But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience and composure.” Romans 8v25 (AMP)

“But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)” Romans 8v25 (NLT)

We are hoping for something that we haven’t seen yet… but we have the Word of God, which gives us hope. Through the Spirit of God we can continue to abound, overflow and bubble over with hope. We know too that God cannot lie, and what He says He will do, He will do. Like Abraham who patiently waited for the promise of God, let us also patiently wait for the Lord. The Lord Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us in His Father’s house, that where He is, we also may be (John 14v1-3). Hallelujah!

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in Me. There is more than enough room in My Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with Me where I am.” John 14v1-3 (NLT)

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Romans 15v4 (KJV)

“Dear friends, we are saying this to you, but we really expect better things from you that will lead to your salvation. God is fair; He will not forget the work you did and the love you showed for Him by leading His people. And He will remember that you are still helping them. We want each of you to go on with the same hard work all your lives so you will surely get what you hope for. We do not want you to become lazy. Be like those who through faith and patience will receive what God has promised. God made a promise to Abraham. And as there is no one greater than God, He used Himself when He swore to Abraham, saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.” Abraham waited patiently for this to happen, and he received what God promised. People always use the name of someone greater than themselves when they swear. The oath proves that what they say is true, and this ends all arguing. God wanted to prove that His promise was true to those who would get what He promised. And He wanted them to understand clearly that His purposes never change, so He made an oath. These two things cannot change: God cannot lie when He makes a promise, and He cannot lie when He makes an oath. These things encourage us who came to God for safety. They give us strength to hold on to the hope we have been given. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and strong. It enters behind the curtain in the Most Holy Place in heaven, where Jesus has gone ahead of us and for us. He has become the high priest forever, a priest like Melchizedek.” Hebrews 6v9-20 (NCV)

Prayer
Father, we thank You so much for Your Word. We pray that Thou O God of our hope will fill us with all joy and peace in believing, through the experience of our faith, that by the power of the Holy Spirit, we may abound and be overflowing and bubbling over with hope in Jesus name, amen.
