Bible Verse of The Day – 6-17-20

Hebrews 6:15 (NKJV) 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Abraham was a great example for us to follow when it comes to waiting on God.

We all hate waiting… for anything.

Oh, we may say we can wait patiently. But when the rubber meets the road, and we are forced to wait for something, we can all get a little spoiled acting.

Sometimes we can get miserable. Other times we might get a bit testy with those around us, snapping at them without cause if they bother us even the least little bit.

Other times, we can throw some very good pity parties, feeling very sorry for ourselves as we are forced to endure a period of waiting before we get what was promised to us.

But, in the end, none of those things actually help us get what we want any more quickly. And sometimes, what we’re waiting for might take even longer because of the way we act. Ouch!

But look at what the verse above says. It says that after Abraham had patiently endured, he obtained the promise!

It wasn’t halfway through. It was after!

And he didn’t endure like a spoiled child, while throwing a temper tantrum. He waited patiently.

Not in spite of that, but because of that, he obtained the promise!

What a lesson we can all learn from this very short verse.

It’s probably safe to say that each and every one of us can learn something from this that we can apply to our lives as believers.
