Lesson 11: Patience
Apr 23, 2024 • Lowell Wooden
How often do we find ourselves, during times of trials, asking
God for “patience – and please hurry!” The word ‘patience’
means “long-tempered”. It is the opposite of having what is
known as a ‘short fuse’. Patience is the ability to contain ones
self. It indicates perseverance, endurance, steadfastness, and
long-suffering. Patience is that calm and unruffled temper with
which the good man bears the evils of life, whether they
proceed from persons or things.
