“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
36. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38. Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 10:36-39 — KJV
Patience. Patience is a positive virtue. It calls for perseverance, persistence, and action despite weariness, discouragement, and obstacles that may block the way.
Done the will of God. For comment on the importance of doing God’s will see on Matt. 7:21-27.
The promise. That is, the promised reward, eternal life. As an athlete receives the prize after a successful performance, so the Christian receives “the promise” after having “done the will of God.” In the book of Hebrews “the promise” refers particularly to what is spoken of as God’s “rest” and as an “eternal inheritance” (chs. 4:1; 9:15; cf. ch. 11:13).
