I’m Called to Be Patient

Scripture James 5:7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.

Observation: Patience is not one of my virtues, bur should be. It’s not something that comes natural to me but it’s something I need to work on. I know my Lord is coming, but I want Him to come now and bring us home. God has been patient with me He waited 46 years for me to receive Him as my Lord and savior. I should be burning in hell instead of reaping the benefit of being His child.

Application: To always realize that God is in control and that He has a plan for this world. To be focused on the plan He has for me and work to accomplish that each day and not to worry about the things that I can’t control. To pray for patience as I wait for the time to come when I get to see my Lord.

Prayer My Lord I’m anxious to be with you, but please give me patience to wait on you. May you find me busy doing your will when you return. I’m here to serve you and others.
