Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love - Ephesians 4:2.
Patience with others
Let us bear with one another in love by being patient. He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city - Proverbs 16:32. Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly - Proverbs 14:29. Walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace - Ephesians 4:4.
Patience in affliction
Let us be patient in affliction for God to work at right time. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer - Romans 12:12. Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing - James 1:2-4. Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains - James 5:7.
Patience by waiting for God
Patience need waiting for God. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.Psalm 37:7. We also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope - Romans 5:3-4. Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord - Psalm 27:14. My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him - Psalm 62:5.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to be patient with others and in all circumstances. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
