TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: ” Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for him to act.” Psalm 37:7
TODAY’S MESSAGE: As a child, being patient was not one of my strong suits. As a matter of fact, I am still not a patient person as an adult. When I see something I want and don’t want to wait to get it. I am sure as a child I was probably considered a little pest by those around me. I had no patience at all. Patience is something that comes hard for many and is a learning process for us who have none. We belong to a patient God. He is patient in everything he does. We as part of the world sometimes wonder if God will ever answer our prayers. We wonder why God doesn’t help us when we think the time is right. Instead, we must realize that our Lord God is on his own time schedule. He has everything arranged to happen at just the right time and you and I have no power to change his schedule. He is a patient God, and we should be very grateful for that. He is patient with each of us when we do things that we shouldn’t. He is patient in his return so that those who still need to accept Jesus will have more time to do so. He is patient in all things, and we should praise him for that. Our problem is that we are not as patient as the Lord. We want our prayers answered as soon as possible. We want those around us healed immediately. We want help with our finances right now! We must learn to be more patient. We must remember that God in heaven has the whole picture setting before him. He knows just when to make the right move. Every move that he makes is for our good. It may not seem that way to us, but you and I have only a small portion of the picture before us. We must have faith that our prayers will be answered. We must have faith that our loved ones will be taken care of by God. We must have faith that our finances will turn out for the best. A strong faith in Jesus is the key to our patience. If we have faith that the Lord is true and faithful, then we are better prepared to wait for our answers. We are able to take time to set back and not miss the answers he gives us. Being patient in the Lord is important and should not be taken lightly. He loves us and will never let us down. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
