"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 like the ideas here of confidence and patience. Confidence in God, and not in others (Proverbs 3:26), and patience with the process.
That patience is a huge part of it... it is the difference later in the chapter between success and failure: "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. / But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul" (verses 38-39).
I think this is all part of what faith is. It is confidence in God, and patience with the process. Let's work on those things today. :)
