Irritable, angry, anxious, restless, annoyed - such is the display of a man losing patience. We're all too familiar with this. But what does it look like for a man to grow in patience?
My notes:
- Patience is enduring evil, pain, or sorrow for the sake of a greater good
- Hupomone is steadfastness, constancy, endurance in the midst of suffering (Rev 13:10)
- Makrothumia is the long fuse of anger (Gal 5:22)
- Don't confuse passivity with patience
- Growing in patience requires keeping greater good in view
- Growing in patience requires believing in divine providence
