burdens. You cannot separate the two. Without something to support, there is no support. Make sense? And this is precisely what our Father uses to develop this quality of His within us.
סּ בּל “burden” or “bear a burden”
Using physical weight-lifting as an example, muscle that is already there (patience given by our Creator) is developed by putting them under stress (trials) and by weight-lifting (bear burdens). As the weight (burden of a trial or test) presses down on us, we press against its burden, making our muscle fibers (self-discipline fibers) tear, and our Father (who is in complete control) uses it to make our spiritual fibers stronger. In the process, patience (which is inward support; otherwise known as self-discipline) is developed.
