Be Patient
“Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains.” James 5:7
In the book “My Utmost For His Highest” Oswald Chambers wrote: “Patience is more than endurance. A saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says – ‘I cannot stand this anymore.’ –however, God does not heed. He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight… then He lets fly. – Trust yourself in God’s hands. For what have you need of patience just now? Maintain your relationship with Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. Job wrote: “Though He slays me, yet will I wait for Him.” Job 13:15.… You cannot see Him just now, you cannot understand what He is doing, but you know Him… Faith is the heroic effort of your life; fling yourself in reckless confidence on God.”
Give Jesus any impatience you have and receive His perfect peace. Let the Lord give you His patience.
“The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.” – Ecclesiastes 7:8
