Patiently Waiting—continued from previous page
PATIENCE
GOD IS THE GOD OF PATIENCE
Now the God of patience and
consolation grant you to be
likeminded one toward another
according to Christ Jesus: That ye
may with one mind and one mouth
glorify God, even the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 15:5-6)
THROUGH PATIENCE WE HAVE HOPE
For whatsoever things were written
aforetime were written for our learning,
that we through patience and comfort
of the scriptures might have hope.
(Romans 15:4)
FOLLOW AFTER PATIENCE
But thou, O man of God, flee these
things; and follow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience,
meekness. (1 Timothy 6:11)
PATIENCE BRINGS FORTH FRUIT
But that on the good ground are
they, which in an honest and good
heart, having heard the word,
keep it, and bring forth fruit with
patience. (Luke 8:15)
TEMPTATIONS WORKETH PATIENCE
My brethren, count it all joy when ye
fall into divers temptations; Knowing
this, that the trying of your faith
worketh patience. But let patience
have her perfect work, that ye may be
perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
(James 1:2-4)
TRIBULATION PRODUCES PATIENCE
And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and
experience, hope: And hope maketh
not ashamed; because the love of
God is shed abroad in our hearts by
the Holy Ghost which is given unto
us. (Romans 5:3-5)
Volume 7—No. 5
THE PATIENCE OF THE CHURCH IN THYATIRA
I know thy works, and charity, and
service, and faith, and thy patience,
and thy works; and the last to be
more than the first. (Revelation 2:19)
THE PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS
Here is the patience of the saints: here
are they that keep the commandments
of God, and the faith of Jesus.
(Revelation 14:12)
And the servant of the Lord must not
strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt
to teach, patient. (2 Timothy 2:24)
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THOSE
WHO ARE PATIENT
In your patience possess ye your souls.
(Luke 21:19)
A Prayer
For this cause we also, since the day we
heard it, do not cease to pray for you,
and to desire that ye might be filled
with the knowledge of his will in all
wisdom and spiritual understanding;
That ye might walk worthy of the
Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful
in every good work, and increasing in
the knowledge of God; Strengthened
with all might, according to his
glorious power, unto all patience
and longsuffering with joyfulness.
(Colossians 1:9-11)
WAITING
OUR EYES WAIT UPON THE LORD
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O
thou that dwellest in the heavens.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look
unto the hand of their masters, and
as the eyes of a maiden unto the
hand of her mistress; so our eyes
wait upon the LORD our God,
until that he have mercy upon us.
(Psalm 123:1-2)
OUR SOULS WAIT UPON THE LORD
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth
wait, and in his word do I hope. My
soul waiteth for the Lord more than
they that watch for the morning: I
say, more than they that watch for the
morning. (Psalm 130:5-6)
WAIT FOR THE LORD WHO IS OUR HOPE
And now, Lord, what wait I for? my
hope is in thee. (Psalm 39:7)
WAIT ON THE LORD WHO IS OUR HELP
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is
our help and our shield. (Psalm 33:20)
WAIT ONLY ON HIM
My soul, wait thou only upon God;
for my expectation is from him. He
only is my rock and my salvation: he
is my defence; I shall not be moved.
(Psalm 62:5-6)
WAIT FOR THE LORD IN TIMES OF TROUBLE
O LORD, be gracious unto us; we
have waited for thee: be thou their
arm every morning, our salvation also
in the time of trouble. (Isaiah 33:2)
WAIT ON THE LORD TO INHERIT THE EARTH
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those
that wait upon the LORD, they shall
inherit the earth. (Psalm 37:9)
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THOSE WHO WAIT
For since the beginning of the world
men have not heard, nor perceived
by the ear, neither hath the eye seen,
O God, beside thee, what he hath
prepared for him that waiteth for him.
(Isaiah 64:4)
A Prayer
The troubles of my heart are enlarged:
O bring thou me out of my distresses.
Look upon mine affliction and my
pain; and forgive all my sins. Consider
mine enemies; for they are many; and
they hate me with cruel hatred. O keep
my soul, and deliver me: let me not be
ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. Let
integrity and uprightness preserve me;
for I wait on thee. (Psalm 25:17-21)
