Patience in Trials
Serious trials in life come to everyone. It may be the lost of a friend or family member, a wreck, loss of your job. Some people have even asked the question, "Why does bad things happen to good people?" The book of Job shares about this question in great detail. He lost everything, had disease brought upon him. Anything Satan could think of to get Job to curse GOD, but Job didn't and in return GOD blessed Job with more than he had! Therefore the saying came, "Having the patience of Job!"
Patience in waiting upon the LORD
Charles Stanley's In Touch magazine (July 1, 2014) "the LORD creates 'gaps' in our life. Such waiting periods are designed for His specific purposes. Sometimes they are meant to prepare us for His preordained answer or waiting to fulfill His plan because there is something He needs to have happen first. He may be testing our faith or it may be a time of our correction. It is imperative that we pray and trust GOD during these times." It is in the waiting that mankind needs to find strength in waiting upon the LORD.
