Patience

Patience Is the topic of my bible study today:
 Job 6:11
"What strength do I have, that I should still hope?
What prospects that I should be patient?"

• Job is talking to his friend Eliphaz, Eliphaz has just told Job about something that God had said to him about Job.
• We need to have hope even when we feel like we can never get out of a place or situation
• We also need to be patient even if we are angry or are hurt by someone or something. We may feel like God can't hear our cries or that He is ignoring us, but that is the devil talking to us and we need to stand firm against what he says because he does not want us to have a relationship with God.

Proverbs 14:29
Whoever is patient has great understanding,
but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.

•  Anger divides people and can start a fire that can destroy people, but if we stay cool and try to understand the situation before getting mad and angry with the person we can keep our cool and come to a better understanding. In situations like that patience is key.

Psalms 40:1
I waited patiently for the Lord,
He turned to me and heard my cry.

• Waiting patiently isn't easy, but if you wait for God or anything really, you'll reap the benefits.
• God does not always give you the things that you want, but He does do the things that are best for you rather than just giving you something that is not good for you.

Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love

• You need to show how you love and respect each other by being patient and kind. One of my friends told me, when you're being disrespectful to your brother or sister would you do that to your best friend?
•  You also need to be humble enough to say you're sorry when you did something wrong.

I hope this all made sense to you! :)
