Are You Willing to Wait on Jehovah? - BIBLE PRINCIPLES THAT TEACH US PATIENCE- Conclusion

 In all that he does, Jehovah patiently takes whatever time is needed to complete his work.  He does so bot for the glory of his name and for the benefit of others. Consider, for example, the step-by-step manner in which Jehovah prepared the earth for mankind.

When describing  how Jehovah created the earth, the Bible speaks of his setting "its measurements," sinking "its pedestals," and laying  "its cornerstone."  (Job 38:5,6)  He even took the time to reflect on his work.  (Genesis 1:10,12) Can you imagine how the angels  felt as they saw Jehovah's creative works gradually taking shape?  How exciting  that must have been for them!  Why, at one point, they began shouting in applause."  (Job 38:7) What do we learn?  Jehovah's creative works took many thousands of years to accomplish, but when Jehovah surveyed everything that he had created so thoughtfully, he pronounced it "very good." - GENESIS  1:31. 

As we have seen in the examples above, we can find many principles   in God's Word that highlight the need  for patience.  We will now look at two specific areas in which we must be willing to wait on Jehovah.
