– Waiting with calmness and a good attitude –
Patience is listed among the nine fruits of the Spirit mentioned in the Bible, and it’s a valuable trait because it stems from trust in God and submission to His way of handling situations. You will have many opportunities in your life to develop patience, and God says it’s worth doing even though it’s difficult. In developing patience, you become more like Him, who has been so patient with you to your benefit.
“Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.” – James 1:19 (NLT)
