\nA. HE HAD TO WAIT.
\n\u2014AS MOST BELIEVERS DO. MATT 7:7.
\n\u2014NOT AS THE UNBELIEVERS. JOHN 5:3. DIFFERENT TYPES OF
\nWAITING. EVERYONE WAITED BUT FEW WERE READY.
\n\u2014BIBLICAL WAITING REQUIRES ACTING UPON OUR
\nKNOWLEDGE. LUKE 8:40, LUKE 2:25-27.
\nB. HE HAD TO WAIT IN A SPECIFIC MANNER: PATIENTLY.
\n\u2014WE HAVE A GOD OF PATIENCE. ROM. 15:5.
\n\u2014WE NEED PATIENCE LIKE HIS (LOOOONG !) JAMES 5:7.
\n\u2014CAN\u2019T LET THE TEMPORARY ADVANCE OF THE WICKED
\nDISTRACT OR DISCOURAGE US. PSALM 37:7.
\n\u2014CAN\u2019T LET THE LENGTH OF TIME BE A DISCOURAGEMENT TO

\nWAITING.
\n>BECOMING MORE ESTABLISHED IN THE LORD. JAMES 5:7-8
\n>LEARNING TO LIVE AS GOD EXPECTS US TO. 2 THES. 3:5-6.
\n\u2014IF WE CAN\u2019T DO IT ON OUR OWN, GOD WILL PROVIDE THE
\nMEANS TO LEARN PATIENCE. JAMES 1:3.
\n\u2014BEING PATIENT DOES NOT MEAN BEING APATHETIC. REV. 2:2<\/p>\n

\n\u2014GOD JUDGES ON THE BASIS OF WHAT DEEDS ARE DONE,
\nNOT WHO THE PERSON IS. 1 PETER 1:17, COL. 3:25.
\nC. HAPPY IS HE WHO KNOWS THE PURPOSES OF GOD.V. 5-6,
\nCOL. 1:9.
\n\u2014BLESSINGS SHOULD NOT BE THE SOLE REASON FOR
\nPRAISE. REV. 4:11, REV. 5:9
\n\u2014BURNT OFFERINGS AND SIN OFFERINGS ARE NOT REQUIRED.
\nEMPHASIS<\/span>: OPTIONAL ! BUT, IT REVEALED FAITH, THE TRUE
\nREQUIREMENT. ROM. 4:3, HEB. 11:17.
