#33: The Attributes of God: God's Patience God-besotted Podcast
-
- Christianity
In Romans 15:5, Paul calls God “the God of patience.” But what does it actually mean that God is patient? Is God’s patience a free pass to do whatever we want? And how are we called to emulate this attribute of God in our own lives? How can we be patient when we are going through a hard time or when people do us wrong?
Let’s talk about it in this episode.
Want to study the themes in this episode further? Here are some passages and reflection questions for you to consider:
Read Numbers 13 and 14. How is God’s patience demonstrated in this narrative? What are some situations in your life during which you have been like the Israelites? How did God show His perfect patience to you?
Consider Romans 5:3-5 and James 1:2-5. How is patience produced in our lives? How do you usually respond to the “sicknesses” God allows you to have? How might your response change as you consider the outcome suffering produces?
Spend some time thinking about and praying for a person with whom it is difficult for you to be patient. What would it look like for you to be patient with them this week?
