Patient Endurance
Scripture: Revelation 13:10 If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity he will go.
If anyone is to be killed with the sword,
with the sword he will be killed.
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.
Observation: Patient endurance and faithfulness is something I lack. Even now my patience is being tested by a decision where we should live since we can’t afford our home any more. I know God has a place yet I feel I need to make a decision now. My lack of faith has me second guessing everything that is happening.
Application: To trust God with all of my heart, mind and soul. He is the one that created me and has gotten me this far. He has a plan and if I allow him and obey him he will fulfill it in his time, not mine.
Prayer: Dear Lord increase my faith that I will trust you with all of my heart and not to lean on my own understanding, but in all of my ways acknowledge you and that you will make my paths straight.
