3 Circumstances of life that require Godly
Patience
Jas 5:11; 1Sam 25
They make you sit outside a doctor’s office just because
they can; If you don’t walk out they honor you will the title
“patient”.
A little boy was standing at the end of an escalator. The
sales lady asked, “Son are you lost?”
“No ma’am, I’m waiting for my chewing gum to come
back.”
A woman rushed up to famed violinist after a concert and
cried: “I’d give my life to play as beautifully as you do.”
Kreisler replied, “I did.”
The circumstances of life expose the building blocks of a
man’s character. If there is no Patience in your plaster every
storm causes total devastation.
Jas 5:11
11) Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have
heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of
the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender
mercy.
Circumstances that require Godly Patience
I. The Funeral of a Saint
1Sam 25:1
1) And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered
together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house
at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the
wilderness of Paran.
And Samuel died:
As godly as he was, it did not save him from an earthly
death.
But God’s work in Israel did not end when Samuel died;
His work is never dependent on only one man.
And Samuel died:
Not God’s work- God’s work may begin with a man, but it
never ends with one man David arose. God continues as
does His work.
Phil 1:6
6) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath
begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of
Jesus Christ:
The Israelites lamented:
As they should have! Samuel was mostly unappreciated
by Israel during his life, but at least he was honored in
his death.
1Sam 8:7
7) And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the
voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they
have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I
should not reign over them. Rejection teaches a prophet
Patience
Samuel’s life was remarkable.
Samuel began the “work flow plan” for the Levites
service of the sanctuary which was completed by David
and Solomon.
1Chr 9:22
All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates
were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned
by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and
Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
Samuel began the collection of treasures for the
building of Solomon’s temple
1Chr 26:27-28
27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate
to maintain the house of the LORD.
28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of
Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of
Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated
any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of
his brethren.
Samuel reminded Israel of God’s great deliverance.
2Chr 35:18
And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel
from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all
the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah
kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah
and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem.
Samuel was a man of intercession.
Ps 99:6
Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel
among them that call upon his name; they called
upon the LORD, and he answered them.
Jer 15:1
Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and
Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be
toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let
them go forth.
Samuel is in God’s “Hall of Faith.”
Heb 11:32
32) And what shall I more say? for the time would fail
me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson,
and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of
the prophets:

II. Marriage Problems
1Sam 25:2-3
2) And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were
in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three
thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was
shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3) Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of
his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good
understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the
man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the
house of Caleb.
And the man was very rich:
He lived in Maon and had business holdings in Carmel. (a
very rich man three thousand sheep and a thousand
goats).
There are four kinds of riches.
• Riches in what you have (some one else could take
them),
• Riches in what you do (some one else could take your
position),
• Riches in what you know (dependent on others valuation
of your knowledge),
• Riches in what you are - riches of character
Nabal was a very rich man, but he had the lowest kind of
riches.
The wrong type of riches will serve as an obstacle to
eternal riches.
Matt 19:23-26
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of
heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter
into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly
amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men
this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel:
This was the “harvest time” for a shepherd.
Sheep-shearing was a time of feasting and celebration.
Laban went to sheer his Sheep, in which Time Jacob
made his Escape, which Laban heard not of till the
third Day (Gen 31:19-22).
Absalom had Sheep-sheerers in Baallhazor, which is
beside Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the King's
Sons. (2Sam 13:23)
The name of the man was Nabal:
This means fool; we don’t know if “Nabal” was given his
name or he earned it, but we will certainly see it matches
the man.
Nabal was harsh and evil in his doings. The fact that he
was of the house of Caleb shows his riches were probably
inherited; but character is earned not passed down.
Abigail . . . a woman of good understanding and
beautiful countenance:
The Bible gives Abigail great praise when it says she was of
beautiful countenance, this simple phrase puts her in an
elite class.
Rachel
Gen 29:17
Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well
favoured.
David
1Sam 16:12
And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and
withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to.
And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
Esther
Esth 2:7
And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's
daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the
maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her
father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
God given converts
Jer 13:20
Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the
north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful
flock?
The Temple
Acts 3:2
And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was
carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple
which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered
into the temple;
How did a woman like this ever get matched up with a
man like Nabal?
(In that day of arranged marriages) probably because
he was rich.
Why would her father match her to such a man?
It is likely he married her to the wealth, not to the
man. Many a marriage is wasted in expectation of
riches.
Many Abigails get married to Nabals. God-fearing women
become tied to men who follow only vanity.
There is but one bit of advice- stay where you are.
The irreconcilable spiritual difference does not
constitute a reason for leaving your husband.
God has permitted such things as a training ground for
your character, and that you might impart a Godly
influence.
Perhaps God knew that you needed the fiery trial to
humble you and make you a testimony.
It will prove the grace and power of the God to strengthen
you.
1Pet 4:12-13
12) Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial
which is to try you, as though some strange thing
happened unto you:
13) But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's
sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may
be glad also with exceeding joy.

1Sam 25:4-9
4) And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear
his sheep.
5) And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto
the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal,
and greet him in my name:
6) And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity,
Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and
peace be unto all that thou hast.
7) And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy
shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither
was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were
in Carmel.
8) Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore
let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come
in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to
thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
9) And when David's young men came, they spake to
Nabal according to all those words in the name of David,
and ceased.
David’s request:
Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants
and your son David.
It might sound like David was running some kind of
“protection racket,” but that wasn’t the case at all.
He performed a worthy, valuable service for Nabal, and
expects to be compensated.
David made his request the right way.
He waited until he heard that Nabal was shearing his
sheep. David protected Nabal’s shepherds and flocks for a
long time, but did not expect to be compensated until
Nabal himself made his money at the “harvest” of sheep
shearing.
He was polite to Nabal. He did this through messengers
(David sent ten young men) so Nabal would not be
intimidated. He sent the messengers with a greeting full
of warmth and kindness (Peace be to you), so that Nabal
would not give out of fear or intimidation.
He gave Nabal an “itemized receipt” for services
rendered (Your shepherds were with us . . . nor was there
anything missing . . . ask your young men, and they will tell
you).
He reminded Nabal of the reasonableness of the timing
of his request (For we come on a feast day).
He did not demand any specific payment from Nabal,
or set a price - he simply left it up to Nabal’s generosity
(Please give whatever comes to your hand).
Conclusion
Heb 10:36
36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have
done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Rom 5:3
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing

Rom 15:4
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were
written for our learning, that we through patience and

Three Circumstances of life that Require Godly Patience

  • 1. 3 Circumstances of life that require Godly Patience Jas 5:11; 1Sam 25 They make you sit outside a doctor’s office just because they can; If you don’t walk out they honor you will the title “patient”. A little boy was standing at the end of an escalator. The sales lady asked, “Son are you lost?” “No ma’am, I’m waiting for my chewing gum to come back.” A woman rushed up to famed violinist after a concert and cried: “I’d give my life to play as beautifully as you do.” Kreisler replied, “I did.” The circumstances of life expose the building blocks of a man’s character. If there is no Patience in your plaster every storm causes total devastation. Jas 5:11 11) Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
  • 2. Circumstances that require Godly Patience I. The Funeral of a Saint 1Sam 25:1 1) And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran. And Samuel died: As godly as he was, it did not save him from an earthly death. But God’s work in Israel did not end when Samuel died; His work is never dependent on only one man. And Samuel died: Not God’s work- God’s work may begin with a man, but it never ends with one man David arose. God continues as does His work. Phil 1:6 6) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
  • 3. The Israelites lamented: As they should have! Samuel was mostly unappreciated by Israel during his life, but at least he was honored in his death. 1Sam 8:7 7) And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. Rejection teaches a prophet Patience Samuel’s life was remarkable. Samuel began the “work flow plan” for the Levites service of the sanctuary which was completed by David and Solomon. 1Chr 9:22 All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office. Samuel began the collection of treasures for the building of Solomon’s temple 1Chr 26:27-28 27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD.
  • 4. 28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren. Samuel reminded Israel of God’s great deliverance. 2Chr 35:18 And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Samuel was a man of intercession. Ps 99:6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. Jer 15:1 Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. Samuel is in God’s “Hall of Faith.” Heb 11:32 32) And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson,
  • 5. and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Circumstances that require Godly Patience 1. The Funeral of a Saint II. Marriage Problems 1Sam 25:2-3 2) And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 3) Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb. And the man was very rich: He lived in Maon and had business holdings in Carmel. (a very rich man three thousand sheep and a thousand goats). There are four kinds of riches. • Riches in what you have (some one else could take them),
  • 6. • Riches in what you do (some one else could take your position), • Riches in what you know (dependent on others valuation of your knowledge), • Riches in what you are - riches of character Nabal was a very rich man, but he had the lowest kind of riches. The wrong type of riches will serve as an obstacle to eternal riches. Matt 19:23-26 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel: This was the “harvest time” for a shepherd. Sheep-shearing was a time of feasting and celebration.
  • 7. Laban went to sheer his Sheep, in which Time Jacob made his Escape, which Laban heard not of till the third Day (Gen 31:19-22). Absalom had Sheep-sheerers in Baallhazor, which is beside Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the King's Sons. (2Sam 13:23) The name of the man was Nabal: This means fool; we don’t know if “Nabal” was given his name or he earned it, but we will certainly see it matches the man. Nabal was harsh and evil in his doings. The fact that he was of the house of Caleb shows his riches were probably inherited; but character is earned not passed down. Abigail . . . a woman of good understanding and beautiful countenance: The Bible gives Abigail great praise when it says she was of beautiful countenance, this simple phrase puts her in an elite class. Rachel Gen 29:17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
  • 8. David 1Sam 16:12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Esther Esth 2:7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. God given converts Jer 13:20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? The Temple Acts 3:2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
  • 9. How did a woman like this ever get matched up with a man like Nabal? (In that day of arranged marriages) probably because he was rich. Why would her father match her to such a man? It is likely he married her to the wealth, not to the man. Many a marriage is wasted in expectation of riches. Many Abigails get married to Nabals. God-fearing women become tied to men who follow only vanity. There is but one bit of advice- stay where you are. The irreconcilable spiritual difference does not constitute a reason for leaving your husband. God has permitted such things as a training ground for your character, and that you might impart a Godly influence. Perhaps God knew that you needed the fiery trial to humble you and make you a testimony. It will prove the grace and power of the God to strengthen you. 1Pet 4:12-13
  • 10. 12) Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13) But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. Circumstances that require Godly Patience 1. The Funeral of a Saint 2. Marriage Problems III. Pay-day Issues 1Sam 25:4-9 4) And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep. 5) And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name: 6) And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast. 7) And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
  • 11. 8) Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David. 9) And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased. David’s request: Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and your son David. It might sound like David was running some kind of “protection racket,” but that wasn’t the case at all. He performed a worthy, valuable service for Nabal, and expects to be compensated. David made his request the right way. He waited until he heard that Nabal was shearing his sheep. David protected Nabal’s shepherds and flocks for a long time, but did not expect to be compensated until Nabal himself made his money at the “harvest” of sheep shearing. He was polite to Nabal. He did this through messengers (David sent ten young men) so Nabal would not be
  • 12. intimidated. He sent the messengers with a greeting full of warmth and kindness (Peace be to you), so that Nabal would not give out of fear or intimidation. He gave Nabal an “itemized receipt” for services rendered (Your shepherds were with us . . . nor was there anything missing . . . ask your young men, and they will tell you). He reminded Nabal of the reasonableness of the timing of his request (For we come on a feast day). He did not demand any specific payment from Nabal, or set a price - he simply left it up to Nabal’s generosity (Please give whatever comes to your hand). Conclusion Heb 10:36 36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Luke 8:15
  • 13. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls. Rom 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; Rom 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: Rom 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Titus 2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 2Pet 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
