Story of Patience
Rusty George | October 31, 2021
Movies and novels are littered with underdog stories. In the end, it all seems to work out usually within a two-hour window – how convenient.
You never hear the stories about people who fail and are only redeemed after years and years of persistence. Or better yet, the people who are persistent in the wrong ways and the story doesn’t end well at all. What we have to consider is that success is not just in the persistence of chasing our dreams, but also in the patience of God’s plans.
There are two stories from the Bible that Rusty digs into to illustrate this point: Abraham and Joseph.
