Virtues of Patience

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. James5:8

Through it all, you shall win

Patience is the ability to wait without losing hope. The natural man is not wired to exercise patience. The flesh always want it now. But Christ has brought redemption that enables the flesh to be denied it's impatience by those that believe. Today, the Holy Spirit admonishes us to wait on Jesus, no matter how urgent the need appears. There's nothing to rush for in life, everything is vanity and there's nothing we can have on earth that satisfies.

Let us establish our hearts in the principles of Christ. Let us be certain about who we follow: either Christ or the world system. For the coming of Christ to take the glorious church is at hand. This is not the time to experiment with sin. This is a time to be focused and be certain of whose side we belong. Have you made up your mind to follow Christ alone? Have you sacrificed the pleasures of life to live for Jesus? If so, happy are you, for our God cannot disappoint. Jesus is coming soon, make up your mind today.

Let's pray. Abba Father, thank you for your powerful word today. Please help us to overcome every entanglement with the flesh as we make up our minds to be yours alone, in Jesus name. Amen. I love you.
