Patience Perfected (#wtsdevo patience)“But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” -James 1:4 This is one of those verses I’ve heard a lot over the years but kind of glazed over. I’ve just more recently found something that I have been missing all this time. In different versions of the Bible the word “patience” is interchangeable with words like endurance, perseverance and steadfastness. They all have one thing in common. They are unmovable. Unrelenting. Unshaken. They withstand the test of time. Most of us have a limit when it comes to waiting. We run out of gas before we reach our destination. So, in our impatience we keep it from producing in us what God is after. Our completeness. We can wait until we’ve either grown too weary or think we can take matters into our own hands. But the moment we do that, we make ourselves God. Because He is the only sovereign, all-knowing Being. I imagine a line graph that measures the trajectory of my faith from start to finish and the time after. The time after would be if my faith hadn’t flatlined and continued until it actually reached its perfect work. I wonder how much longer it would be. I know God would be my all in all. That’s the enduring type of patience I long for.____________________________________________Devotional Series: Patience (#wtsdevo patience)By: Julian Davis \ Personal // Walk the Same -- source link
