“Ye have need of patience” — Hebrews 10:36

No one is born patient. Babies come out of the womb with no patience at all. What they want, they want it NOW. If they don’t get it immediately they will let you know loud and clear!
Patience does not come naturally. If patience was natural, why does God command us to “be patient” (1 Thess. 5:14; James 5:7)?
Patience is a virtue that must be developed over time. Peter tells us that patience is something we must “add” to our faith (2 Pet. 1:5-7). Paul tells us the trials help us to develop patience (Rom. 5:3). Patience is also part of the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23). When you and I are impatient, it shows we are walking in the flesh and not the Spirit.
When will find ourselves in the grip of impatience, it is time to cry out to the Lord and commit our situation into His capable hands. God may, or may not, immediately resolve the source of your impatience. It is often a process. We cannot pray, “Lord, I want patience, and I want it NOW!” As the words of the gospel song goes, at times He removes our mountains one stone at a time. If we will just be patient, we’ll notice our mountainous problem is getting smaller with time.
As James 1:4 says, “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
