Good Things Comes To Those Who Wait Bible Verse

Friend, if you are searching for encouragement about waiting patiently, then today’s topic is for you. I want to share some Bible verses that provide perspective on waiting and remind us that good things come to those who wait according to God’s timing and purposes. These scriptures will help you understand what the Bible teaches about patience and perseverance. Take comfort in God’s promises as you wait.

Introductions

Dear friends, the idea that good things come to those who wait is certainly affirmed in the Bible. When we place our hope and trust in God, we can be assured that He hears our prayers and will answer in His perfect timing.

Waiting on the Lord with faith and patience allows Him to work in our circumstances and prepare our hearts to receive His blessings. Often He is protecting us from harm or refining our character before granting our deepest desires.

God reminds us that His ways are higher than our ways. Even in times of waiting, He wants us to find joy and purpose in each day’s small moments.

The Bible gives many examples of faithful men and women who endured years of waiting before God fulfilled His promises to them. Abraham and Sarah waited decades for the birth of their son Isaac. Joseph waited in slavery and in prison before rising to power in Egypt.

God may call us to persevere through suffering, to sow seeds whose harvest we may not live to see. But we can be confident that He is able to accomplish more than we can imagine. If we remain steadfast, the reward for those who wait on the Lord will be infinitely greater than we dreamed.

Dear friends, now let’s look at the Bible scriptures below that talk about how good things come to those who wait.
