“…through faith and patience inherit the promises” (Heb.6:12)
~The stronger the faith, the longer the grip. The length of patience (the grip) is determined by the strength of faith. Faith is strengthened by careful hearing and absolute obedience to the Word of God. Faith is weakened when the soul gives in to the sense-demands of the flesh, to see, to have something right now. On the contrary, faith is the certainty of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. Patience is the length of this certainty. Patience is faith stretched over time.
