"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise."
Hebrews 10:35-36
I think we often "have need of patience" in waiting upon the Lord, who always keeps his promises, but rarely according to our timetable. His is much wiser, but it is hard sometiems for us because we can't see the eternal purposes and we can only see the immediate consequence of waiting (and even then we are often wrong because we don't factor in the occasional miracle... and they do indeed happen.
Today, let's stop and think and retain our confidence in the Lord, trusting that he will keep his promises, as he always does, and reward us for our good efforts, even if they are small. Let's trust, and pray, and continue in hope... in faith doing everything in the expectation that God will have our back in the end as we keep his commandments... because he will. It might not be immediate, but the happy ending is always there at the end, waiting for us.
