But what if you had to wait 24 years for your answer to come? Would that still be faith? Or what if you didn't see what God had promised turn into reality for 400 years? Would that be faith too? Abraham and Noah knew that faith required patience. Some in the Bible waited even longer.
Hebrews clearly notes that it is through both faith and patience that we inherit the promises.
"..but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised."
The writers notes that we should be"
1. Diligent
2. Not sluggish
3. Imitate
That makes for a good formula. How long before the answer comes you have been seeking from God? Be diligent. Don't be sluggish. Imitate those who have inherited. The answer will come in His perfect time.
Have faith and be patience. You will inherit.
