Believing, but with patience

In such an accelerated life, where we can access the internet and find information so fast; Sometimes that does not apply in the spiritual. It takes your time and disposition of the heart.

In Hebrews 6 two important components are mentioned to inherit the promises of God. Not only does "Faith" appear, but it includes "Patience".
There are many examples of faith in the Bible, one of them is Abraham who receives the promise that his offspring would be as numerous as the stars in heaven. God fulfilled his promise, but in his time; Abraham being a hundred years old when he had "Isaac", the son of the promise (Genesis 17:17).

I like to compare a promise from God like when a woman is pregnant, although her baby has not yet been born, she knows that something in her womb is growing and that she will give birth to her time. For this, she must have certain cares in her diet and lifestyle, but, although she has not yet seen the baby in its entirety, she knows that one day she will do it.

In the same way, God has planted promises in our hearts, which, despite not seeing them completely, does not mean that God is not moving forward. The important thing is to wait for the right time, what would happen if a baby does not meet the stipulated time for its development? It would be a great risk.

In the case of our heart, God is developing something very deep: his promise. And God invites us to wait on Him, but that does not mean that we will stop praying and we will not have hope; On the contrary, our hope will grow because our Faith is placed in God, but our patience will be an important factor.

Behold, I do a new thing; it will soon come to light; Will you not know it? Again I will open a path in the desert, and rivers in solitude.
Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV)
