Patience is an attribute that every child of God who wants to make heaven must have. Without patience you cannot wait to receive answers to prayers, you cannot walk and serve with fellow believers and you could even have a hard time in your studies and relationship with people. Darrel Lee stated that, "We don't go far in our Christian experience before trials come and we find that we must sometimes wait upon God for his answers. [ DCLM Higher Everyday ]
Waiting certainly requires patience, and this is God's way of helping develop that attribute." From childhood, Samuel patiently learnt under the priest Eli, to hear the voice of God and to serve in God's house. Elisha also patiently served Elijah and when Elijah was to be taken to heaven, he followed steadfastly from Gilgal to Bethel and finally to Jordan where he got the double portion of Elijah's anointing. A classic case of patience is that of Job under affliction (James 5:11). We can see from all this that patience pays. God will bless the patient in spirit.
Challenge: You will be better than your teachers if you learn patiently.
