Patently Awaiting

Lord, please give me patience . . . and give it to me right now! (Anonymous)


Paul lists patience as one of the precious gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life. Like the other fruit of faith, patience grows from our relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. We will turn to the Old Testament to learn something about the patience of God and then, in the New Testament, examine patience in the lives of God's people. Our study will conclude by exploring what the Bible teaches about the patience God gives through His Son.

Patience for one person may be considered impatience by another. What might Paul have in mind
when he includes patience among the gifts of the Holy Spirit?
