Longsuffering

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-23

Do you ever feel as if you have waited on God for a long time? Does it seem that your patience is at an end and you’re wondering when the Lord will come through for you? If so, you are not alone. Consider these examples from Scripture………..

**Abraham waited on an Heir—Genesis 21:1-5

**Joseph waited on a Dream—Genesis 37:18-28

**David waited on a Rule—I Samuel 16:1-13 & II Samuel 5

**Job waited on Restoration—Job 42:12-17

**Jesus waited on a Resurrection—Matthew 28:1-8

All these waited patiently and God’s promise was fulfilled in their lives. Wait on the Lord, my friend. God is faithful and will reward your longsuffering when you trust in Him!

One God

Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: “I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.

Isaiah 44:6

God is only, supreme, and eternal. This simple statement is packed with theological heft and power. Let us examine it further.

God is the only true God. Apart from Him, there is no other. All others gods are fakes and counterfeits. Idols cannot see, hear, or act. The God of Scripture sees, hears, and wills the entirety of everything. Yes, there is only one true God.

God is supreme. 1 Samuel 2:2 tells us “No one is holy like the LORD, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.” Every person and entity in the universe bows the knee to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Lord is supreme over all.

God is eternal. Consider this quote from Psalm 90:2—Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. Before anything was, God is. He is the one who was, the one who is, and the one who is to come. (Revelation 1:4)

Let us give thanks and praise to the only God, the supreme God, the eternal God!
