Examples of Patience

The Holy Spirit provides us with three (3) examples of patience as we have been encouraged to abide in trials with patience. 1) The Husbandman or Farmer, 2) The Prophets of Old, 3) Job. Each one manifests different aspects of Patience: The Farmer teaches of the length of patience, the prophets of the severity of trials undergone with patience, Job--the reward of patience. We must remember that God is making us more like unto His glorious Son, Jesus Christ. As Job said, "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold" Job 23:10
