| The definition of PATIENCE is to endure discomfort without complaining. The spiritual meaning of PATIENCE is very similar. Patience in the Bible is the ability to endure difficult people and situations without giving into anger or giving up hope. Patience is tied to your level of FAITH. If you have strong faith in God and what He can and will do in your life, you can have more patience because you already know He is going to come through for you. A couple of individuals in the Bible whom, if they were alive, could testify to that. One person is Job. Over a period of time, he lost possessions, children, his health and he still refused to curse God, after his friends encouraged him to. Instead, he prayed for his friends and God then restored Job’s possessions and gave him twice what he had before (Job 42:10). |
