Wed Aug 3 Patience with Situations

I am a get it done kind of girl. When I decide to do something, I am ready to make it happen. I don’t have an off button until it is finished. Unfortunately, I have watched way too many HGTV shows where they accomplish 2 months of work in a half hour. It causes unrealistic expectations. If you have served God for any length of time we know that God is more into marinating than microwaving. He is all about process. We think in terms of a frying pan, God likes the slow cooker. Our Christian life is a process. Although we became a new creation at salvation, walking daily with Christ is a process. We learn and grow as we incorporate the Word of God into our daily life. The renewal process, takes time and patience. We work it out, day by day. From our thoughts, to our beliefs, to our actions, it takes a process to change to be like Jesus. Our rough edges get smoothed off and our character is shaped by not only people, but by situations in our life. With any situation that you have in your own life, patience is a necessary. We have to walk in love, make choices to watch our words and live like Jesus is watching, because He is! Be patient with yourself, and be patient with others. Learn to be patient in the process, God is perfecting his work in you.
