Galatians 5:19-24 (NASB) Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, Factions, 21 envying, drunken- ness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned you that those who practice

  7. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

With yourself. “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:2-4 9

  11. Four areas in which we should exercise patience. 3. With God’s plan. “"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him." 25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him. 26It is good that he waits silently For the salvation of the Lord.

  16. Eugene Peterson “One aspect of this word that I have been able to identify as harmful to Christians is the assumption that anything worthwhile can be acquired at once. We assume that if anything can be done at all, it can be done quickly and efficiently. Our attention spans have been conditioned by 30-second commercials and 30-seconf abridgements.”
