“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit” (Ecc 7:8).

The patience spoken of here is not the earthly patience. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the Coming of the Lord” (Jms 5:7). This patience therefore refers to patiently waiting for the Coming of the Lord. The end of such saints, whether it is their departure or the Rapture, will be better than their beginning and rather like the end of the Lord. May the Lord grant us the grace to watch and wait patiently for His Coming.
“Oh, may we never weary, watching,
Never lay our armour down,
Until Ho come, and with rejoicing
Give to each the promised crown.”
