About This Quote
"It is pleasing to try the patience of God" is a saying that expresses the idea that you can be patient with someone who is not always easy to get along with. This saying is based on the biblical story of King David who was said to have been a impatient king. He did not like it when people did not do what he said, and he often got angry when they did not do what he wanted them to do. However, in all his times of anger and impatience, David was a very kind and generous person. He wanted people to be happy, even when they were doing things contrary to his desire.
