Verses from Romans

并且仰望上帝的应许，总没有因不信心里起疑惑，反倒因信心里得坚固，将荣耀归给上帝，且满心相信上帝所应许的必能做成。(罗马书 4:20-21)

Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. (Romans 4:20-21)

Abraham stumbled but never failed in his trust in the promise he’d received (Gen. 15:5-6; Rom. 4:20-21).

Through years of waiting and mistaken attempts to help things along, Abraham hung on to God’s promise until Isaac was born.

I find this reminder to trust encouraging. We tell God our request. We remember that He cares. We know He is powerful. We thank Him for His faithfulness.

Lord, 

my patience is often lacking and my timetable often does not match Yours. 

Forgive me for my times of doubt, and help me to trust You more.

Thank You for Your faithfulness.

Some lessons of patience take a long time to learn.
