How often do you feel like your patience is being tested? Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. We have been right there with you getting stronger in patience! As I was writing this, I was patiently waiting for my first grand baby to be born. She will be born soon, maternity isn’t eternity, even when it feels like it. By now she is here! We are doing a building project this summer as well. We feel like it will be an eternity until it is done, but it will be finished at some point. Unfortunately much later than they would have hoped. What ever is testing your patience right now, let’s pass the test! If we let patience have its perfect work, James 1:4 says that we will become mature, lacking nothing. Here is your dailyeword encouragement.
How is it working for you? Do you have patience with people or are you still working on it? Some people are easier than others for sure, so I know your answer, we all have to keep working on it. It’s a life long assignment! With what is going on in our world, it is hard not to want to think, say or post everything you want to say to people who bring violence or stir up hatred, but we can carefully choose what comes out of our mouth. We can think new thoughts, take our mind down a new pathway, and only let our thoughts line up with what God says. We keep on loving people. We keep on encouraging people. We keep building and being the solution where ever we are. And then when we do open our mouth, we have a river of life coming out of us. Our words bring hope and healing and help instead of hurt. You have been blessed to be a blessing, not just with finances and things, but with your words. So speak life and keep working on your patience with others.
