The Testing of Your Faith Produces Patience.

One of our biggest battles is with Patience. When a son is told to wait by his father, the son becomes antsy and frustrated by the fact he has to wait all the way until Saturday to get his brand new red bicycle but disregards the fact that he is GETTING his brand new red bicycle.

In life, we all have to go through a stage of waiting, and instead of us learning while we wait or perfecting other areas we concentrate on not having and needing to wait. Patience is truly a virtue and when we have the ability to wait the battle is less intense and opens up room for more blessings to pour in. It shows that we have trust and total faith in the amazing abilities of our God.

So when Our Father tells us to wait, let's not become fixated on the clock but consumed with joy in knowing that we will get what He promises to give...Just wait!

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." James 1:2-4


Be Inspired...to focus on the gifts and blessings you have and pray for the ability to wait for gifts and blessings of the future.
